I think that if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring. I have to believe that.

David Levithan
I still don’t know if this is a good quality or a bad one, to be able to be in the moment and then step out of it.
David Levithan
You wanna-I dunno-get coffee or something sometime?
David Levithan
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.
David Levithan
We pencil-sketch our previous life so we can contrast it to the technicolor of the moment.
David Levithan
This is my life, I think. I am an accumulation of objects.
David Levithan
The mistake is thinking that there can be an antidote to the uncertainty.
David Levithan
Eventually she fell asleep, but I kept the phone against my ear, lulled by her breathing, and her breathing again in the background. And yes, it felt like home. Like everything belonged exactly where it was.
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.
David Levithan
I could point out that it isn't always easy knowing who you are and what you want, because then you have no excuse for not trying to get it.
