I'm a firm believer that embracing the imperfections of making music is so much of what makes something groove. Getting rid of these imperfections runs the risk of removing a lot of the magic that makes this music really special, and diminishes music's ability to connect with us as human beings. We are all imperfect, after all.
~ Jacob Collier
He didn't believe in a God who sifted through prayers, answering some and ignoring others, no matter how unworthy or worthy a person might be. Instead, he preferred to believe in a God who bestowed all people with gifts and abilities and placed them in an imperfect world; only then was faith tested, only then could faith be earned.
~ Nicholas Sparks

There is no such thing as escape after all, only an exchange of one set of difficulties for another. It wasn't Mark or the farm or marriage I was trying to shake loose from but my own imperfect self, and even if I kept moving, she would dog me all the way around the world, forever.
~ Kristin Kimball
But it is one thing to transmit the divine through a blasting storm of holy noise, another thing entirely to write a history forged from human voices, imperfect memories, self-interested accounts.
~ Geraldine Brooks
truth or to errors that are no longer natural, man's natural state alters, too. Because his actions no longer come from natural beliefs, they are no longer natural. He no longer obeys his primitive inclinations because he no longer thinks it necessary, nor does he draw the natural consequence from them, etc. And in this way, altered man, that is, man who has become imperfect in relation to his own nature, becomes unhappy.
~ Giacomo Leopardi
Prior to the 2014 General Election, the country was passing through a phase of uncertainty. After the elections, my government assumed charge and vowed to build a New India. A New India with no place for imperfect, corrupt and inertia ridden systems.

~ Liam Fox

And they'd dragged her to yet another haunted house. Where was the now? In bloody America, probably, apart from the bit that Tucker lived in, or in bloody Tokyo. In any case, it was somewhere else. How could people who didn't live in bloody America or bloody Tokyo stand it, all that swimming around in the past imperfect?
~ Nick Hornby
Vulnerable, messed-up, inadequate
~ Nick Hornby

~ Nick Laird
