There are many lovely women, but no perfect ones.
- Victor Hugo

Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.
- Anne Wilson Schaef

Striving for perfection is the greatest stopper there is. You'll be afraid you can't achieve it. ... It's your excuse to yourself for not doing anything. Instead, strive for excellence, doing your best.
- Sir Laurence Olivier

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them-every day begin the task anew.
- Saint Francis de Sales
