Dunne, a slight man with a "good big head," according to Priestley, believed that everything had already happened and that everybody was immortal—that time was a paradise of somehow slightly spongy simultaneity that was accessible, albeit imperfectly, via a close study, every waking morning, of one's dreams.
We have long been told there is "nothing left to sanction" in North Korea, and yet, Trump's national security team was able to rally partners and allies to increase sanctions, even getting China to cooperate in a way, although still imperfectly, that it has not in the past.
He identified proudly with the Communist Party and the "proletarian literature" movement, even though, as Asher points out, his literary sensibility was imperfectly suited to it; Algren was always less attracted to the heroic working class than to hustlers, outlaws, those who rejected the whole culture of work itself.
Some of Garner's prejudices are less conscious than others, but I suspect she understands perfectly well that narrative truth—what Elena Ferrante calls "authenticity" (as distinct from mere verisimilitude)—proceeds from a kind of dangerous honesty that is not always conscious but is, rather, half disclosed, imperfectly controlled.
If someone says something, you need to be brave enough to say that's not OK. It's hard sometimes, but trans kids and trans people are your neighbors, your public servants, your average, everyday humans who are imperfectly perfect and has every right to exist and be recognized as such.
They give rise to the fundamental attribution errors that Vandehei and others make when they ascribe political fractiousness entirely to partisan ossification and personal failure, rather than to two parties attempting, however imperfectly, to advance the interests of their supporters (and, yes, donors) in ways that align with their worldviews.
The biggest tragedy of the murders that Manson orchestrated, but did not participate in, is the way in which they have come to be associated with the cultural milieu that sought to promote higher ideals, however imperfectly, in the face of the Vietnam War abroad and racial violence at home.
These organizations impose ideological purity with a combination of carrots and sticks: assured support for politicians and pundits who toe the line, sanctions against anyone who veers from orthodoxy — excommunication if you're an independent thinking pundit, a primary challenge from the Club for Growth if you're an imperfectly reliable politician.
It was this model that, however imperfectly, absorbed the Arab minority remaining in Israel's borders after the unsuccessful effort by Arab governments to wipe Israel out at its infancy, and turned them into full citizens with a material and political quality of life arguably unmatched by Israel's Arab-majority neighbors.
We have, imperfectly, and despite detours and retreat along the way, sought to realize a better world for ourselves and for others, for we understood that our prosperity and our values at home depend on that prosperity and those values being secure as far as possible in a sometimes dark world.
Indeed, for the most part, Republican leaders in Congress have been passive enablers of the strongman caucus, standing by as Trump demolishes global alliances and the infrastructure of U.S. diplomacy, unraveling America's commitment to promoting human rights, democracy, and civil society—however imperfectly—in the young, postcommunist democracies of Eastern and Central Europe.
The 22017-year-old has charted an uncommon career, directing films, including Short Term 212 and The Glass Castle, that focus on people on the periphery of mainstream pop culture who have built their lives striving — imperfectly — to be understood, to be seen, beyond the snap judgements placed on them by the world.
Often enough, they simply come in through doorways, around which they tend to congregate in autumn, but they have dozens of other ways of entering: down chimneys, around utility pipes, underneath the flashing on roofs, beneath cracks in the siding, through the vents in air-conditioning units, via imperfectly sealed windows, in the gaps below door sweeps.
After being drawn in by his personal effects, which the artist came to use as material for a performance — barely staying within the realm of legality by imperfectly reproducing personal letters from the architect to mysterious lovers — Magid soon learned that Barragán's professional archive is owned by Rolf Fehlbaum, founder of the Swiss design firm Vitra, and controlled by his wife Federica Zanco.
What I'm hoping for from the rest of the season are the kinds of conversations about, and insights into, queer culture today that take after the way the original show, however imperfectly, explored lesbian identity and community: how we identify one another in the wild, stereotypes about our tendencies to fall in love too quickly, historic gathering spots like Olivia cruises and the Dinah Shore.
Although the failure of the Republic to sustain its ideals is appallingly self-evident, elections involving millions of people were held routinely, if imperfectly; venal bosses like Boss Tweed, instead of sending on power to his son, were tried and imprisoned; Jews worshipped freely; freethinkers flourished; immigrants settled; reformers raged against corruption, and, in a few key cases, won their battle; dissent, even radical dissent, was aired and, though sporadically persecuted was, on the whole, heard and tolerated.
It doesn't mean it has, it doesn't mean it always has, it doesn't mean it only always will, it doesn't mean if we don't do it stupidly, imperfectly, haltingly, hesitantly, but if I want it to change, if I want those people to not vote like that again, if I want those folks to not support Islamophobic policies and racist policing, then I will tell you, in addition to the moral dimension, pragmatically speaking, hating them is counterproductive.
