A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.
Lewis Mumford
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
Chuck Palahniuk
A perfect human being: Man in search of his ideal of perfection. Nothing less.
Pir Vilayat Khan

Albert Einstein
A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.
Mahatma Gandhi
A studio recording is perfection, but emotion and passion come only when you turn on the machine and go for the groove. If you do that with no mistakes, it sounds beautiful.
Chuck Mangione
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
Bishop Robert South

Hugh Mackay
Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.

J. D. Salinger
An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's.
Jonas Salk

Kathy Mattea
APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.
Edsger Dijkstra
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Benjamin Haydon
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Gustave Flaubert
As the leaders and decision-makers of this great state, it is our responsibility to strive for perfection.
