The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole in order to escape from its imperfection.
Leonardo da Vinci
So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire.
Swami Vivekananda
Covetousness, and the desire of having in our possession, and under our dominion, more than we have need of, being the root of all evil, should be early and carefully weeded out, and the contrary quality of a readiness to impart to others, implanted. This should be encourag'd by great commendation and credit, and constantly taking care that he loses nothing by his liberality.
John Locke
Part of language design is perturbing the proposed feature in various directions to see how it might generalize in the future.
Larry Wall
It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite.
