Lord Chesterfield

Lytton Strachey

Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.
Aldous Huxley
Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book.
Laurell K. Hamilton

Haim Ginott
The dog and the rabbit are telling us not to chase unattainable material goals.
Kit Williams

Irving Howe
