More quotes by David Levithan
Our moments are music, and sometimes – just sometimes – we can catch them and put them into some lasting form. If we didn’t have music, I don’t think we could ever be truly happy, and if we didn’t have special moments, we would never find music.

Everyone tried with me. And everytime, it felt like the whole point of life was to see if trying was ever enough.

You know what’s a great metaphor for love? Sleeping beauty. Because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up. — Tiny Cooper

Because it is senior year I have begun to see things as potential absences. The things I love will become the things I'll miss.

We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.
David Levithan
This is a difference between us: you desire what other people have, while I desire the things I used to have, or think I might have one day.
David Levithan
Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love.
David Levithan
There's no way to release yourself from a memory. It ends when it wants to end, whether it's in a flash or long after you've begged it to stop.
David Levithan
And still, for all the jealously, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you --- it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.

Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?

Pride is allowed to have an element of worry, especially when you are a mother.
David Levithan
She is so lost in her sadness that she has no idea how visible it is.
David Levithan
A sound waiting to be a word.
David Levithan
And I'm moved, it's so beautiful. Not what I wrote, but to have it given back like this. To have her remember the words and the tune. To hear it in her voice.
David Levithan
I preferred to hang out with the dead, dying, or desperate books - used we call them, in a way that we'd never call a person, unless we meant it cruelly
David Levithan
There is no reason that we should ever be ashamed of our bodies or ashamed of our love.
