“Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love.”

“Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. ... He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.”

“The bonds that unite us to another human being are sanctified when he or she adopts the same point of view as ourselves in judging one of our imperfections.”

“Perfection is death,' Anastasia said. 'The world is imperfect, but if it weren't, who would love it?”

“Perfection is a flaw,for it isn't the perfection that defines us; but the imperfections that make us, us, and it is the imperfections that we fall in love with.”

“Our love is perfect. And even though we may not be, our love creates a bridge that spans over our imperfections and joins us where it matters.”
