“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“We're miserable because we think that we are mere individuals, alone with our fears and flaws and resentment and mortality.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“The Lord works through deeply flawed people, since He made so few of the other kind.”
― Timothy B. Tyson, Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story

“The living are made of nothing but flaws. The dead, with each passing day in the afterlife, become more and more impeccable to those who remain earthbound.”
― Anna Godbersen, Splendor
