Perfect

Famous quotes containing the word perfect:

    I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed.
    Inaction, no falsifying dream
    Between my hooked head and hooked feet:
    Or in sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat.
    Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    The perfect female is a higher type of human being than the perfect male: and also something much more rare.—Zoological science provides the means to support this proposition.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
