“Within these strangely specific conditions, everything is perfect. We are perfect.”

“The definition of a strength that we will use throughout this book is quite specific: consistent near perfect performance in an activity.”

“Everything that looks too perfect is too perfect to be perfect.”

“In-existence, the soul’s greatest imposition is its perfection. It is projected as a perfected form of the physical embodiment, an emblem of things, perhaps hyperreal and untouchably perfect as existence. It can not be! The soul in-existence is nothing of perfection. It is raw potential. The soul is nothing but potential. To be specific, the soul is unordered potential!”

“Sooner or later in life everyone discovers that perfect happiness is unrealizable, but there are few who pause to consider the antithesis: that perfect unhappiness is equally unattainable. The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: they derive from our human condition which is opposed to everything infinite.”

“That's the beauty of art--we strive for perfection but never achieve it. The journey is everything.”
