Imperfect Compromise

More From Laurell K. Hamilton

If you do it first class and you don't compromise values, and you don't compromise quality, and you don't compromise service, and you don't compromise cleanliness, then everybody else who is the competitor has got to play catch-up.
Play Class Quality
Let me make it very clear: when i say compromise i do not mean capitulation. when i say compromise i definitely do not mean what jesus christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. and, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. that is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. i'm a great believer in compromises. i do not believe in capitulation.
Jesus Believe Mean
The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
Integrity Curiosity Realization

If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you've got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.
Doors Ego Cliffs
The trickster, the riddler, the keeper of balance, he of the many faces who finds life in death and who fears no evil; he who walks through doors.
Doors Evil Balance
Seeing the lightest and gayest purple was then most in fashion, he would always wear that which was the nearest black; and he would often go out of doors, after his morning meal, without either shoes or tunic; not that he sought vain-glory from such novelties, but he would accustom himself to be ashamed only of what deserves shame, and to despise all other sorts of disgrace.
Fashion Morning Doors
We have to discard the past / and, as one builds / floor by floor, window by window, / and the building rises, / so do we keep shedding - first, broken tiles, / then proud doors... and each new day / gleams / like an empty / plate.
Past Doors Broken
