Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or enemy:
“Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our enemy is by tradition our savior, in preventing us from superficiality.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
