In our ludicrous efforts ordsprog

en In our ludicrous efforts to 'change' and be perfect, we try to fashion a perfect world for ourselves. We start to imagine that we are actually in control of our world, which is further from reality than an all-parrot moon landing. The universe, our universe, is out of our control. We live on a speck drifting around in an infinite vacuum with countless trillions of other specks. Our world is in a perpetual state of perfect chaos and entropy, with everything falling apart and dying and being born haphazardly. Meanwhile, we try to make life as neat and clean and orderly as a computer research facility, when in fact it is more like a junkyard. It always has been, and it always will be, no matter how much fussing and sweating and striving we do to make it different.

en Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
  Bob Marley

en If you drew it on paper, in a perfect world, this is how it would be drawn. Perfect weather, perfect conditions and really big waves.

en I didn't work hard to make Ruby perfect for everyone, because you feel differently from me. No language can be perfect for everyone. I tried to make Ruby perfect for me, but maybe it's not perfect for you. The perfect language for Guido van Rossum is probably Python.

en It's like we're going to a kindergarten with those little chairs ? but the women don't fit. The doll concept of life was the men's world, and their idea was to try to fit the women into it, to cut them down to size ? to put them in little wigs, with eyelashes and makeup and make them fashion items in this particular world ? so they could control it.

en She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations. Here is the world, sound as a nut, perfect, not the smallest piece of chaos left, never a stitch nor an end, not a mark of haste, or botching, or second thought; but the theory of the world is a thing of shreds and patches
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm OK with this. In a perfect world, everybody shows up [Thursday] and nobody is a pound overweight and nobody does this. But it's not a perfect world. We're dealing with a lot of personalities, but it's going to work out by doing it this way. It's going to work out better.

en In a perfect world, you'd take the premium out, and you're looking at an oil price in the lower- to mid-30s. But it is not a perfect world.

en It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world.

But a world we can shape to our will is a shapeless world.
  Daniel J. Boorstin

en I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she's more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything's perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It's sad. I'm a little like Ray, a little bit.

en And it was perfect! The new opening kicked it off just in the right way. The voicing of the instruments was perfect. It was an orchestration that could not have been better. All of this just from someone who said, 'This opening is not the sound that I really want to have, so I'm going to add this in to make sure that it's right.' This is the type of thing that's constant when you're working with Wayne--this striving after something that's out there that he's going to be able to bring in and make available to us.

en There are two ways to go about it. You can take a compass and draw a perfect circle and make two perfect eyes as neat as can be. Or you can do it freehand and have some fun with it. Like I did. Give it character.

en The Universe should be deemed an immense Being, always living, always moved and always moving in an eternal activity inherent in itself, and which, subordinate to no foreign cause, is communicated to all its parts, connects them together, and makes the world of things a complete and perfect whole.
  Albert Pike
