More quotes by Augusten Burroughs

This means not just admitting to uncomfortable feelings but then examining your circumstances to see what can be done to change these feelings at the source.

Augusten Burroughs
Perfection is the satin-lined casket of creativity and originality. If you are a perfectionist, at least stop telling everybody you're one and try to get over it yourself, alone in your home with the lights off
