Examples of perfection in a Sentence

1. Will Smith:

   Behind the scenes of that, James Avery was relentless on me to elevate. He wouldn’t give me a damn inch. Everything I said, everything I did, for James Avery it was like, ‘Nope, not good enough. You have this position, look where you are, look what you are blessed with. I’m sorry but I’m not accepting anything other than absolute, committed perfection,’.

2. Joan Collins:

   Good news/Bad news. Good news : I just got vaccinated ! Bad news : I got it because I ’m 75. Ha ! the operation in NYC was smooth as silk( sorry about the cliché@BCDreyer!) and hosted to perfection by the US Army and National Guard. Thank you all, and thank you science.

3. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate:

   Interestingly, it's the imperfection that makes things beautiful, even though this viewpoint may seem labyrinthine. Absolute perfection is often unattainable in reality, and yet so many imperfect things can be breathtakingly beautiful. So it must be that either the Perfection is overrated, or that our Imperfections must be making us so unique - and hence most beautiful. I like what Marilyn Monroe said decades ago: "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." So, go ahead and celebrate your differentiating differentness - including the imperfections that make you so beautiful.

4. Pinkett Smith:

   Pac had a little thing with that, but she just loved him, he was the image of perfection, but she was with the Fresh Prince.

5. Eugène Delacroix:

   The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.
