A Kool Quote I Thought Of! 2009-11-12 14:51:36 Reply

I hang out with a lot of people that are better then me, people who you would think to be perfect but heres a quote that i made up showing how being perfect ain't that great.
Note- It needs some touch ups so give me some good word choice and tips for it :D (I'm only 14 XD)

-Being Perfect is not being able to not try and achieve perfection

What i mean by this is once you be perfect at everything it gets boring and dull, you ever beat a game and then keep playing it over and over again but it gets boring as fuck? Yea thats what i mean!

I also mean that trying to be perfect is more then being perfect :D

Being perfect is being unable try and achieve perfection

I think that fits for wording. I really like it, especially if you came up with it on the spot.
A bit more formal wording could be like this

Being perfect just means you have no hope of doing anything with life.

Attempted philosophy on a forum should never come within the same post as the phrase 'I'm only 14 XD'.

True, I was mainly saying it like that for the ones who don't understand the quote. But, yeah, I wouldn't want to sound like a douche, haha.

You can't be perfect. Thus your argument looses.

"I live to love my life." still sounds cooler.

I came up with "Perfection is stagnant" years ago. Still like it, to this day. Your quote is awkward, poorly worded, and difficult to follow.

It means that perfection cannot progress any further. Its still, stagnant, not growing, or moving or doing much of anything. Why? Because their's no where left to go. Nothing left to learn.

That only doesn't make sense if you don't know what stagnant means.

Pretty much. Stagnancy has the connotation of latent to the point of terrible. Which is why it's a great juxtaposition to perfection, since it doesn't come right out and directly contend with it.

And THAT is the essence of a good quote. It's something unexpected and new, but mostly just TRUE. I know it sounds egotistical to go off explaining what makes a quote good directly following mine, but that's not my intention.
