{"quotes":[{"text":"Every day as I wave to my children when I drop them off at school, or let one of them have a new experience—like crossing the street without holding my hand—I experience the struggle between love and non-attachment. It is hard to bear—the extreme love of one’s child and the thought that ultimately the child belongs to the world. There is this horrible design flaw—children are supposed to grow up and away from you; and one of you will die first.","author":"Sarah Ruhl","tags":["children","design","die","experience","extreme","flaw","grow-up","horrible","love","new","non-attachment","struggle","world"],"id":2651,"author_id":"Sarah+Ruhl"},{"text":"A thorough inspection of someone you believed to be loveable will send you back into your shell if all you saw in their life was all bullshit.","author":"Michael Bassey Johnson","tags":["appearance","bullshit","character","dislike","flaw","imperfection","individuality","inspection","irritation","regret","sensitive","sensitivity","shell","trait","traits","unloveable"],"id":4721,"author_id":"Michael+Bassey+Johnson"},{"text":"I think that one of the biggest flaws ofmankind is that we become complacent with our lives.","author":"Daniel Willey","tags":["complacence","complacency","complacent","flaw","flaws","humans","life","live","lives","man","mankind"],"id":11528,"author_id":"Daniel+Willey"},{"text":"She doesn’t snarl. She smiles instead, but it is a half smile. She is hiding something, an imperfection. There is something about her teeth, the sides of them that she doesn’t want me to see.

Perhaps this is what is missing from my life, some mysterious flaw that I won’t want to correct.","author":"Lacey Reah","tags":["fireflies","flaw","smile","snarl","vampires"],"id":17821,"author_id":"Lacey+Reah"},{"text":"It is not until you rhyme with a person that makes you their perfect match, it is when you are satisfied with each others peculiarities, and find jewels in their loopholes.","author":"Michael Bassey Johnson","tags":["compatibility","diamond","difference","finding-love","flaw","friends","friendship","friendships","gold","ideal","jewel","jewels","loophole","loopholes","love","love-life","oneness","peculiarities","peculiarity","perfect","perfect-match","real-friends","rhyme","satisfaction","silver","soulmate","together","true-friends","true-love","two"],"id":23975,"author_id":"Michael+Bassey+Johnson"},{"text":"We are equal by fault, but never equal in acceptance.","author":"Anthony Liccione","tags":["acceptance","approval","attack","condemn","criticize","defect","divided","equality","fault","flaw","guilt","imperfection","judging","rights","sameness","sin"],"id":29286,"author_id":"Anthony+Liccione"},{"text":"[On Schopenhauer in Black and White] Schopenhauer's views of love are flawed. Love can't be merely an illusion of the mind to aid in procreation, but the path to redemption for an otherwise violently selfish species.
