Part of growing up is making sure your sense of reality isn't entirely grounded in your own mind.
David Levithan
No, really,' I said. 'I think she's great. And I honestly like her about twenty more times now than I did when we were dating. But love needs to have a future. And Sofia and I don't have a future. We've just had a good time sharing the present, that's all.

I wonder if it's possible to start a new relationship without hurting someone else.
David Levithan
I had made it somewhere special, and I'd gotten there all on my own. Nobody had given it to me. Nobody had told me to do it. I'd climbed and climbed and climbed, and this was my reward. To watch over the world, and to be alone with myself. That, I found, was what I needed.
David Levithan
Kindness connects to who you are, while niceness connects to how you want to be seen.
David Levithan
breathtaking, adj. Those moments when we kiss and surrender for an hour before we say a single word.
David Levithan
I want to take back at least half of the “I love you”s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones.
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
I text tiny a minute later. MADE NEW GAY FRIEND. And he texts back PROGRESS!!!
David Levithan
The world, right now, is only us.
