More quotes by David Levithan
The words that matter always stay.
David Levithan
I was attempting to write the story of my life. It wasn't so much about plot. It was much more about character.
David Levithan
Once you experience enormity, it lingers everywhere you look, and want to be every word you say.
David Levithan
I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation
David Levithan
He is much stronger than I think I am. He is mischievous, outgoing, ready to soar through the clouds, while I often feel like the cloud itself.
David Levithan
I don’t want to know anything, and I want to know it all
David Levithan
It's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.
David Levithan
Why do we even bother? Why do we make ourselves so open to such easy damage? Is it all loneliness? Is it all fear? Or is it just to experience those narcotic moments of belonging with someone else?
David Levithan
It's like you're a character in this book that everyone around you is writing, and suddenly you have to say, 'I'm sorry, but this role isn't right for me'. And you have to start writing your own life and doing your own thing.
David Levithan
My lines all curve. I tend to connect the wrong dots.
David Levithan
I try to convince myself that it's the alcohol talking. But alcohol can't talk. It just sits there. It can't even get itself out of the bottle.
David Levithan
You will always be my always.
David Levithan
dissonance, n. Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk to you and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't here it.
David Levithan
I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.
David Levithan
I get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end.
David Levithan
Everyone tried with me. And everytime, it felt like the whole point of life was to see if trying was ever enough.
David Levithan
There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.
David Levithan
Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.
David Levithan
How sad it must be for you to be nothing more than a hollow statue, to have your tomb preserved and your story forgotten.
David Levithan
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.
