It seems your topic lacks an appropriate title. That's why nobody's replying.

I don't know about that art and life quote... I find it wrong, life is less than art. People die, but their art remain.

"Practice makes perfect" is a sad proverb. It's not completely true. Practice does not make perfect, it makes something permanent. So to make something perfect, you need perfect practice.
