When it all come down to it, the thing that matters most in a relationship is principles [...] We have the same idea what’s right and what’s wrong, and that’s got us through any number of things. If you can have that with someone, then you’re most of the way toward love. Not just lover-love. Any kind of love.
David Levithan

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.
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 don’t want to throw everything away for something uncertain.
David Levithan
Please may this not be a game. Please may this not be a game. Because if it’s a game, I know I’m going to lose.
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.
David Levithan
Here, she said. This is for you. I didn't really get you anything, I sputtered. I mean, I didn't know that you were going to be here, and-- Don't worry. It's your embarrassment at not having the thought that counts.
David Levithan
Every day I am someone else. I am myself-I know I am myself-but I am also someone else. It has always been like this.
David Levithan
What did it matter to me? Did I think that by making you rational about one thing, I could make you rational about everything? Maybe. Or maybe I just wanted to save you from your fears
