More quotes by David Levithan
I had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.
David Levithan
It is hard to stop seeing your son as a son and to start seeing him as a human being. It is hard to stop seeing your parents as parents and to start seeing them as human beings. It's a two-sided transition, and very few people manage it gracefully.
David Levithan
It's the way you say thank you like you're genuinely thankful. I have never met anyone else who does that on a regular basis.
David Levithan
Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together
David Levithan
I’ve found that people tend to trust other people who dress like them.
David Levithan
Once time is lit, it will burn whether or not you're breathing it in. Even after smoke becomes air, there is the memory of smoke. I am seeing as if by the light of a match, a glimpse of my life and having it feel right.
David Levithan
There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.
David Levithan
I see Nick's number. I debate whether to assign a name to his number. If I commit to that, then I will truly be heartbroken if he never calls me again my heart will knot each and every time I use this phone and see his name in there. I would probably end up having to trash the phone entirely.

You don't know, but I'm noticing.

It doesn't have to be on Valentine's Day. It doesn't have to be by the time you turn eighteen or thirty-three or fifty-nine. It doesn't have to conform to whatever is usual. It doesn't have to be kismet at once, or rhapsody by the third date. It just has to be. In time. In place. In spirit. It just has to be.
David Levithan
Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
David Levithan
There is no reason that we should ever be ashamed of our bodies or ashamed of our love.
David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.
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
We stay this way until twilight colours the window and the hour calls me home
David Levithan
I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.
David Levithan
I know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you
David Levithan
and when he catches me off guard and says 'i love you' i catch him off guard and say 'i need your help.
David Levithan
It felt good to be surrounded by books, by all this solid knowledge, by these objects that could be ripped page by page but couldn't be torn if the pages all held together.
David Levithan
The tenderness between two people can turn the air tender, the room tender, time itself tender. As I step out of bed and slip on an oversize shirt, everything around me feels like it's the temperature of happiness.
