We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

My favourite poem is the one that starts 'Thirty days hath September' because it actually tells you something.

There's nothing wrong with you. There's a lot wrong with the world you live in.

De todos los animales de la creación el hombre es el único que bebe sin tener sed, come sin tener hambre y habla sin tener nada qué decir.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

I, myself, am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

Augusten Burroughs
