Dorothy Parker
“Don't look at me in that tone of voice.”

Haruki Murakami
“A certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect.”

Martin Buber
“When I confront a human being as my Thou and speak the basic word I-Thou to him, then he is no thing among things nor does he consist of things. He is no longer He or She, a dot in the world grid of space and time, nor a condition to be experienced and described, a loose bundle of named qualities. Neighborless and seamless, he is Thou and fills the firmament. Not as if there were nothing but he; but everything else lives in his light.”
― Martin Buber
