Perfection Quotes

“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.”

“Perfectionism is self-destructive simply because there is no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.

To places that are sweeter because you worked so hard to arrive there. To places at the very edge of your dreams.”

Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are.”

“There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.”
