BENT, BROKEN STAINED DISCARDED

“Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection.” 
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Imperfection inspires invention, imagination, creativity. It stimulates. The more I feel imperfect, the more I feel alive.” 
― Jhumpa Lahiri, In Other Words

“The Japanese think it strange we paint our old wooden houses when it takes so long to find the wabi in them. They prefer the bonsai tree after the valiant blossoming is over, the leaves fallen. When bareness reveals a merit born in the vegetable struggling.” 
― Jack Gilbert, Collected Poems
