“I was learning that if I lived slightly in the future-what will happen next-I didn't have to feel so much about what was going on in the present.”
― Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors

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

“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey, nonny, nonny.”
― William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
