More quotes by David Levithan
It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can't even make the comparisons anymore, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It's simply a matter of is and is no longer.

Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
David Levithan
It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it’s lonely, because you feel you can’t talk about it.

I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation
David Levithan
It is much harder to lie to someone's face. But. It is also much harder to tell the truth to someone's face.
David Levithan
I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.
David Levithan
Sometimes the space between knowing what to do and actually doing it is a very short walk. Other times it is an impossible expanse.
David Levithan
I don't want to fall. All I want to do is stand on solid ground.
David Levithan
How can you spend hours every day trying in small ways to figure out who you are, then have a near-stranger give you a sentence of yourself that says it better than you ever could?
David Levithan
I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.
David Levithan
The words that matter always stay.
