Seventh grade shop class flashes before my eyes. “You can use the other tools after you finish plaining your board perfectly straight. Where is your board, anyway?”
Heh, sharpening the pencil till all you have is shavings and graphite dust. As someone once said, “Often, perfection is knowing when to quit.”
It seems that perfection is attained, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away. – Antoine de Saint Exupéry
I think about this comic every day now, gripped in fear. Okay. Fear and rueful chuckles.
