Void is when there is absolutely nothing there and the nothing is natural, a complete vacuum. But empty - with empty, you are aware of what's supposed to be there. Empty means something is missing.

I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking, and then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are azure indigo cerulean cobalt periwinkle and suddenly the blue will not seem so dark, more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun.

arrears, n. My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I though would go wrong, I never thought it would be that. It was a mistake, you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.

me: you know what sucks about love? o.w.g.: what? me: that it's so tied to the truth.

Jesus died for our sins, Noah says solemnly. What?!? I reply, choking back my thoughts. I was just seeing if you were listening.

Pride is allowed to have an element of worry, especially when you are a mother.
David Levithan
There are times when I worry that I've already lost myself. That is, that my self is so inseparable from being with you that if we were to separate, I would no longer be. I save this thought for when I feel the darkest discontent. I never meant to depend so much on someone else.
David Levithan
There is no reason that we should ever be ashamed of our bodies or ashamed of our love.
David Levithan
When is a night over? Is it the start of sunrise or the end of it? Is it when you finally go to sleep or simply realize that you have to? When the club closes or when you everyone leaves? It's over when you decide it's over, she says. When you call it a night. The rest is just a matter of where the sun is in the sky.

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.

People say that time slips through our fingers like sand. What they don't acknowledge is that some of the sand sticks to the skin. These are memories that will remain, memories of the time when there was still time left.

If you want to be loved, be a lovable. It's a good place to start.

Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them.

I can't pretend to know what love is. It just is.
David Levithan
It's only a game if there is an absence of meaning. And we've already gone too far for that.
