David Foster Wallace on perfectionism
“You know, the whole thing about perfectionism.
The perfectionism is very dangerous. Because of course if your fidelity
to perfectionism is too high, you never do anything. Because doing
anything results in...it's actually kind of tragic because you sacrifice
how gorgeous and perfect it is in your head for what it really is. And
there were a couple of years where I really struggled with that.”
―David Foster Wallace
