"Nothing that lives is, or can be, rigidly perfect; part of it is decaying, part nascent….
And in all things that live there are certain irregularities and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty….
To banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyse vitality.”


John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice, 1851
