Flaws reveal a lot about a character and who people are. The flawed elements of a character are where I find their humanity. Those are the things I tend to identify with - the weaknesses. I don't know why, but I identify with struggle more than with success.
Liev Schreiber
Image
Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation.
William Goldman
Image
Here was a boy who liked flaws, who saw them not as failings but as strengths. Who knew such a person could exist, or what would have happened if we'd found each other under different circumstances? Maybe in a perfect world. But not in this one.
Sarah Dessen

A lot of guys are very intimidated by an attractive woman, and they dehumanise her because our culture perceives beautiful women as commodities. But I think if you're able walk up to a person and get to know them, and you see their flaws and their impurities, and realise that they're like you, then you can humanise them again.
Neil Strauss

We are flawed creatures, all of us. Some of us think that means we should fix our flaws. But get rid of my flaws and there would be no one left.
Sarah Vowell
Image
I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.
Nicolas Cage
Image
That's what God does. He doesn't try to cover up our flaws He starts from scratch and makes us new.
Sharon Jaynes
Image
I've always been interested in our flaws as human beings, just as much as the virtues.
Nicole Kidman
Image
Work hard to seem infallible and others will work to find our flaws. Admit our shortcomings and others will work to help us be infallible.
Simon Sinek
Image
He won't be one of those girlishly pretty men with curly gold hair...He'll be dark, dangerous, too. Brave, certainly, but not without flaws. I like my heroes human.
Nora Roberts
Image
Still, that's the point of love you love someone despite their flaws.
Sophie Kinsella
Image
But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. This is rare and pure and perfect.
Patrick Rothfuss
Image
Maybe the reason it's easier to shrug away one who has made us their secret love is simply because we know our own flaws we know under the right light, that illusion they believe will fall, and show us for what we really are instead of who they secretly hope us to be.

If you’re going to enjoy the picnic that life really is, you’d better learn to like yourself not despite your flaws and so-called deficits, but because of them.
Paul Orfalea
Image
I expect VA's inspector general and the FBI to work closely together so that we can identify and eliminate the flaws that allowed this leak and prosecute any criminal acts.
Steve Buyer

A final word on self-criticism: Do not beat up on yourself. Even if you think you know your flaws, there is no need to advertise them. Most people won't have noticed.
Philip Toshio Sudo

Cast a spell and the small flaws don't matter. (From Workbook)
Steven Heighton

Write in the sand the flaws of your friend.
Pythagoras

I used to think mercy meant showing kindness to someone who didn't deserve it, as if only the recipient defined the act. The girl in between has learned that mercy is defined by its giver. Our flaws are obvious, yet we are loved and able to love, if we choose, because there is that bit of the divine still smoldering in us.
Susan Meissner

But all I said, as I dug a five from my pocket to pay for my soda, was, You have a friend? Tod scowled. Well, I wouldn't call him a friend according to the traditional definition, but in the sense that he imposes on me constantly and isn't afraid to point out my flaws, I'd say he qualifies. Sounds more like a cousin.
Rachel Vincent

I registered the dukkha of self-aversion with such clarity that I knew there was no freedom unless I could love this life without holding back. This didn't mean I was going to ignore my flaws and stop seeking to improve what I could. But in the deepest way, I was not going to fixate on the conclusion that something was wrong with me.
Tara Brach
Image
When I was young, every time I criticized someone, my mother would stand me in front of the mirror and say: 'The flaws you see in others are actually a reflection of yourself.' That taught me to pay close attention when I looked at others.
Richard Branson

It’s amazing how lonely you can feel and like nobody understands…The moment you are vulnerable, someone always reaches out….They go through the same things. I want them to feel comfortable knowing that I have flaws as wells. I want them to know those flaws. I’m afraid of the pedestal…I want to be a peer to my fans
Rihanna

Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.
