Search.

Constable, Cenotaph to the Memory of Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1836


The search for perfection is a subtle drug. It draws the mind along circuitous routes, deeper and deeper into itself, until nothing can be seen except the ideal. Desire blinds one to purpose, and thus renders true perfection impossible.

Sir Joshua Reynolds

Perfection, thankfully, is impossible.
