->'''Dwarf in the Flask''': Tell me, why did you refuse to join me? Why God? How did I disappoint you you?\\
'''The Truth''': You were incapable of believing in yourself. ''(Dwarf turns to face The Truth)'' You stole your power from others, you rejected your human origins and chose to covet the power of what you call "God". You never grew beyond your days in the flask. Did you truly think you'd become superior to humans by removing your seven desires? Don't make me laugh.\\
'''Dwarf in the Flask''': What's wrong with that? I only wanted to obtain perfection. I wanted this world's knowledge for my own! Why should I be punished for that? ''What's wrong with craving knowledge?'' '''''What's wrong with seeking perfection!?!'''''
-->-- Dwarf in the Flask talking to the Truth, ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''

~~->''"There~~ ->''"The 'perfect being', you said? I have to tell you the honest truth. There is nothing in this world that is truly ~~"perfect"...~~ 'perfect'. It may be a cliche thing to say, but it's the way things are. That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately, I have to ask myself, what is the true meaning of perfection? And the answer is, there is none. Not one thing. I spit in the eye of perfection. If something truly is perfect, that's it! No more intelligence, ability or improvement! Do you understand? To true scientists like you and I, ~~"Perfection"~~ 'perfection' is tantamount to ~~"despair".~~'despair'. We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, NEVER, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, you may think we operate on the same level, but you're wrong. The moment you started spouting that perfection nonsense, you had already lost to me. That is of course if you are a scientist at all."''
