― Augusten Burroughs

“Think of your head as an unsafe neighborhood; don't go there alone.”

“I, myself, am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.”
― Augusten Burroughs

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
