More quotes by David Levithan
We love and we feel and we try and we hope.
David Levithan
Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them.
David Levithan
We'd said we'd keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep as soon as it's gone, it's gone. We should have said we'd keep in words, because they are all we can string between us--words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.
David Levithan
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.
David Levithan
How sad it must be for you to be nothing more than a hollow statue, to have your tomb preserved and your story forgotten.
David Levithan
There is no such thing as no choice. There is always a choice. The only question is whether it's a bearable one.
David Levithan
Love me less, but love me for a long time
David Levithan
If smart people are parodying it, that's a sure sign that some less smart people are believing it.
David Levithan
Enlightenment is scary. Sometimes things look better in the dark.
David Levithan
We switch to another language-- not our invented language or the language we've learned from our lives. As we walk further up the mountain, we speak the language of silence. This language gives us time to think and move. We can be here and elsewhere at the same time.
David Levithan
Love is the higher law.
David Levithan
Maybe there's a way to keep us in this moment. Not the sad part. But the coming together part.
David Levithan
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship, I say. Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.
David Levithan
Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.
David Levithan
aloof, adj. It has always been my habit, ever since junior high school, to ask that question: “What are you thinking?” It is always an act of desperation, and I keep on asking, even though I know it will never work the way I want it to.
David Levithan
We just want to walk. Our legs need to move to keep our minds from collapsing.
David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.
David Levithan
Freedom is also about what you will allow yourself to do.
David Levithan
Let me hold on to this the way it was, before I knew anything else.
David Levithan
I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.
