Pablo Picasso on seeking perfection of expression

    Why create? To seek perfection of expression. As Pablo Picasso put it:

I too often tell myself: “It’s not quite there yet. You can do better.” I can rarely keep myself from redoing a thing - umpteen times the same thing. Sometimes it gets to be a real obsession. After all, why work otherwise, if not to better express the same thing? You must always seek perfection. (Quoted from The Life of the Creative Spirit, p. 265.)
