The virtues of imperfection

[denny]

From a friend's journal:
"Sometimes... when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing. The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues. You can't separate them."

Not sure if it's a quote or something she wrote herself.

Good quote :) True of women as well, I reckon.

Sounds like a synopsis of an episode of "Deal or No Deal"...

Sounds hauntingly familiar, maybe it's just my past calling out to me.

The first part ("when you .. nothing.") is from Ally McBeal.

The second "The imperfections ..." is by Henry Miller, although he said:

The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues. You can't separate them. They're wedded.
