That quote is found everywhere! So many people online have made sonnets based on it. I believe that Sam Keen is the original writer though.
Answer
It makes perfect sense. None of us are perfect. Love is when you accept that person, imperfections and all, and love them for who they are with no ideas of "changing" them to suit your own wants. When you really love someone, you love them for everything that they are and everything they are not.
Of course, we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
there is no such thing as an "imperfect" person because no one is perfect. but the question you should be asking is "how do i become less stuck up?"
"Love is a journey that starts with a single glance and ends with eternal bliss." - Unknown "Love is not about finding the perfect person, but about seeing an imperfect person perfectly." - Rumi "Love is the bridge between you and everything." - Rumi "Love is the beauty of the soul." - Saint Augustine "Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable." - Mahatma Gandhi
Perfect voluntaries refer to actions done with full knowledge and consent, while imperfect voluntaries refer to actions done with partial knowledge or under coercion. In perfect voluntaries, the person is morally responsible for their actions, while in imperfect voluntaries, there may be some moral mitigation due to the lack of full consent or understanding.

Fac- is the Latin stem that means 'did'. The derivative Latin verb is 'facere'. The stem 'fac-' shows up in the imperfect and present perfect tenses of 'facere'. So the imperfect tense begins with 'faciebam', which is the first person singular form and which means 'I did'. The present perfect tense begins with 'feci', which is the first person singular form and which means 'I did, have done'.
If the visual cortex or the optic nerves were damaged then no matter how perfect or healthy the eyes are the person would be blind.
Had can not be so easily translated literaly. It is in french the "imparfait" tense (preterit) for the verbe avoir. I had - j'avais You had - tu avais He (or she) had - il (or elle) avait We had - nous avions You had -vous aviez They had - ils avaient The best is to give a sentence or a context.

1. Honestly nobody can be perfect no matter how hard they try. We were born imperfect. 2. I disagree. We are all perfect. We are living things that had come too far in life to not be perfect. The imperfection is merely what we do to ourselves and put in our minds that we are not perfect. There is no double you and no one can replace you. You are perfect, born perfect. you are perfectly you. 3. I agree no one can be perfect, but you can always be wonderfully imperfect just being yourself. 4. I disagree. if you like Ben and Jerry's ice cream you're perfect. And coffee, you have to like coffee. 5. I disagree with 2 and 4 because we are NOT perfect. If you are perfect then everything about you is perfect. you have all 5 fingers, you never make mistakes, teeth are all perfect, you never needed braces nor glasses. You always talk correctly, you never think wrong. You like everybody, you don't judge anyone, you always agree with everything. you don't argue. If someone hits you, you wont get mad; you never lied. I bet both of you have done wrong before or one of those negative things i mentioned. Like i said No one is perfect. Thank you very much. 6. If you assume braces, 6 fingers, mistakes, glasses, judging others, disagreeing with others and not appreciating being hit are all negative, then I guess you would see the world as very imperfect. I disagree with your list of bad things. 7. Glasses can make a girl cuter; braces can be a way for adolescents to relate to one another; a 6th finger would be just plain useful when the other 5 are busy; diversity in the ways people talk make conversation colorful, the errors people make in their thinking can be hilarious! 8. Does a perfect person have to like even the worst villains? Does the perfect person have no moral standard by which the actions of others are judged, right or wrong? Does the perfect person not become angry when presented with injustice? And would the perfect person, when put in such a position, not lie to protect loved ones or the innocent? If so, then we need to change our definition of what it is to be perfect. We seem to have a list of criteria which render an individual imperfect, so infinite and minute that perfect has become an impossible standard. Compared to perfect, we all suck royally. When did we become so hard on ourselves, so ruthlessly demanding? Why not have a finite, individually decided criteria which make someone perfect? I say anyone who likes crossword puzzles, the NYT and coffee with an occasional getting-stuck-in-the-rain tendency is well enough perfect. But that's me. What's your perfect? 9. I'm sticking to what I said. I'm not going to keep arguing with anyone about it.
Finding the "one" doesn't mean finding the most perfect person ever it means finding someone who makes you happy and you enjoy being with all the time. So yes you will someday, just be yourself, and when you find your "one and only" ask your self if you could survive being stranded on an island for a year with this person.
To get a perfect girlfriend you have to search for her. You can find her anywhere. It also varies what you consider as perfect.
