Flawed Quote

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

Augusten Burroughs, Magical Thinking

Some might think of this as a cynical quote. I think it's a marvelously Lutheran way of looking at one's self.

Well, then again, it doesn't give the credit for good intentions to the Spirit, so perhaps our dour Lutherans would still find it too self-centered.

[OK, now that comment was cynical.]
