“Who wants to be a goddess when we can be human? Perfection is a flaw disguised as control.”

“Why would anyone want perfection when growth comes from flaws?”

“Our flaws are what makes us human. If we can accept them as part of who we are, they really don't even have to be an issue.”

“Literature wasn’t intended to be about perfect people, it was about flaws, very real and very deep human flaws.”

“Christmas it seems to me is a necessary festival; we require a season when we can regret all the flaws in our human relationships: it is the feast of failure, sad but consoling.”

“The fatal flaw of human wisdom is that it promises that you can change your relationships without needing to change yourself.Every painful thing we experience in relationships is meant to remind us of our need for God. And every good thing we experience is meant to be a metaphor of what we can only find in Him.... We settle for the satisfaction of human relationships when they were meant to point us to the perfect relational satisfaction found only with God.”
