American - Poet

I lay there silently, hoarding my small dignity. I did not ask about the gate or the closet. I did not question the bedtime ritual where, on the cold bathroom tiles, I was spread out daily and examined for flaws. I did not know that my bones, those solids, those pieces of sculpture would not splinter.

Anne Sexton

I want to be able to show people that I have flaws and they have flaws, too. And you know what that means? No one out there is perfect.

Christina Grimmie

I put my flaws on front street. So the world accepted my flaws, so I don't have any flaws.

Kevin Gates

The beauty of social media is that it will point out your company's flaws; the key questions is how quickly you address these flaws.

Erik Qualman

I've always felt alone and isolated, and living on the West Coast, there's no poetry community out here, and if there is, it's really spread out - because it's LA, it's spread out.

Victoria Chang

Any kind of run-of-the-mill flaws that are easily solved, to me, are boring. Situational flaws, for example. I like flaws that are rooted in a deep distrust in people because of a lack of love.

Will Arnett

It's just a compulsion to create something new and stay busy. I don't know how to do anything else. It was never exactly right. Those records came out in spite of their flaws. And because of their flaws they were good.

Stephen Malkmus

What the Chronics are - or most of us - are machines with flaws inside that can't be repaired, flaws born in, or flaws beat in over so many years of the guy running head-on into solid things that by the time the hospital found him he was bleeding rust in some vacant lot.

Ken Kesey

The trick is finding a person whose flaws don't drive you crazy...you know...someone whose flaws you can live with...someone who can stand your flaws, too.

Marcia Lynn McClure

It's a great job to have to try to spread the game, to spread joy, to help anybody out.

Khris Middleton

My mother was not without her flaws. She did have a lot of flaws, but she revealed her strength and her flaws equally, and I think that's really important. I was very much influenced by that.

Nina Tassler

I never examined my role in male culture, in hyper masculinity. I never examined it, nobody ever called me on it.

Nate Parker

It's important to have an examined life - but it's a fine line between having an examined life and being hypercritical of oneself. There has to be balance in there somewhere.
