Text Quotes
Other people sound flat to my ear; their words just hang in the air. But when my mother says something, the ends curl  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) Just as I had long suspected, a person didn't really need math for anything anyway. Maybe some people did. Some limited people  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) Thanksgiving was nothing more than a pilgrim created obstacle in the way of Christmas; a dead bird in the street that forced a brief detour  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I wish I had a tray table in my bedroom and I wish I smoked, just so I could extinguish my smoking materials  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I would borrow the microphone and stuff it down the front of my pants, examining myself from every angle in the mirror  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) Doctor, if being a bitch is healthy, then I am the healthiest damn woman on the face of the Earth  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) After I got my coffee, I leaned against a stop sign and sipped, pretending it was a normal day and I was only up this early so that I could go running and not because I'd just been on a killing spree  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) The year I snuck an interracial lesbian couple into the background of an American Airlines commercial, I was feeling particularly flush  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I could see jabs from his flashlight cutting into the woods on either side of me. He was back there, somewhere.

If they weren't called turtlenecks, I wouldn't have worn them  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I nodded again, but I knew I would not grow up to drive a bulldozer.

That's why there are so many. Two people should stand together and look at them. One person alone will surely miss the good ones  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I missed him so much that I had physical sensations of loss, all over my body. Like one minute I was missing an arm, the next my spleen. It was making me feel sick, like throwing up  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) Well, you know, just some old man all alone. God, I hope I don't end up alone like that. Some pathetic old woman with nobody to go on a whale watch with  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) It terrified me to consider: What if, as a grown up, I craved another body beside me as still as this one? What then?  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) One thing was certain: I would be in their Tang commercial. And if any of the other children tried to get in the way, I would use my pencil to blind them  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I like flaws and feel more comfortable around people who have them. I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) My attraction had been immediate and profound. And it had nothing to do with the way he looked.

Except that the string was coming from my center  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) My mistake was in underestimating the emotional force of a song you have already hear a thousand times  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I loved most when his eyelashes twitched and he blinked, and suddenly happiness was there inside his eyes. Unmistakable. Like a single word printed on a clean white page  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) I remember, no matter how impossible it seemed that any given day would end, it always did. This one would, too  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) Hope and God were buddies. Theirs was not a formal relationship steeped in ritual and tradition.

You have to make it happen  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes) But she did love him. I believe it. I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn't deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention  (Augusten Burroughs Quotes)
