Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.

And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.

At his hanging, he told the others, 'I'll be waiting for you in heaven---with a gun. - Deep Thoughts (Saturday Night Live)
