“Perfection is our goal. Excellence will be tolerated.”
—J. Yahl
This is a really stressful one. And an impossible goal. There are so many of these. Like being good (in a moral sense)
Reminds me of Olympia, the perfect doll for a not so perfect creator. Didn’t this fail? (The Sandman, ETA Hoffmann). Thinking about the story, she was a robot. Is perfection only possible for a robot?
Thinking about it, if failure is anticipated, when it is quite a good quote. (Making the impossible possible. )
Or: a mother wants a perfect child. And Yahi has internalised this. Maybe he has to become a robot.
