PERFECT Waldo

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

PERFECT Glimpse

But certainly there was an Eden on this very unhappy earth. We all long for it and are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature at its best and least corrupted, its gentlest and humane, is still soaked with the sense of exile.
J. R. R. Tolkien

PERFECT Lily

Instead of working for the survival of the fittest, we should be working for the survival of the wittiest - then we can all die laughing.

PERFECT Moore

"The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is -- it must be something you cannot possibly do."

Henry Moore
