About This Quote

The wounded, the incomplete, the unbalanced, the malfunctioning, the ill seek each other out: like attracted to like. is a quote from William S. Burroughs that has been said about people who feel misunderstood and alone, and then realize they are not alone after all. It is such a beautiful thought that it is hard to understand how so many people could have never made the connection between being wounded or incomplete and needing to find others who have felt the same way.
