Have no fear of perfection — you'll never reach it.

The unreal is more powerful than the real.
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.

Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect.

Not seeing people permits one to attribute to them all possible perfections.

And your one perfect moment won't last forever.

Harry, there is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.

Beauty—that wraith of perfection that came and went as a shadow.

The trick was to know that his true nature lived, as perfect as an unwritten number, everywhere at once across space and time.
