Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life.

Summary

This quote expresses the dual nature of perfection. While it can be attractive and captivating, it also has the potential to irritate. This holds true in both fiction and real life. Perfection often creates a sense of unattainability or unrealistic expectations, which can create frustration or dissatisfaction. In storytelling, perfect characters or plotlines may feel predictable or unrelatable, whereas flaws and imperfections add depth and relatability. Similarly, in real life, the pursuit of perfection can lead to pressure, stress, and discontent.
