Augusten Burroughs
“I'm a sunflower with a cracked petal.”
Augusten Burroughs, Sellevision

Augusten Burroughs
“I understand why sometimes people speak in cliches because sometimes there is no other way to describe something.”
Augusten Burroughs, Magical Thinking: True Stories

Augusten Burroughs
“What I like about you is that I've never met anybody like you in my life. You've got depth and you're funny and you have a sweet, good soul." A breeze from the water passes over us, "And I admire your strength.”
Augusten Burroughs, Dry

Augusten Burroughs
“We tried to everything right, now we were forced to do everything wrong and it was working.”
Augusten Burroughs

Augusten Burroughs
“I want to write something that means something to someone...the reminds them of what a second, a moment, really is...or that assures them that we are just as lost as they are. I want to write an emotion they are too fragile to let loose, so that my words can do the expression for them, the feeling for them. I want to write beyond the basics and the cliches...I want to write you, I want to write a long walk on a starry night, I want to write an exhale or an inhale...or suffocation.
I want to write as clear as my voice could be heard...that is, if I had anything to say.”
Augusten Burroughs
