More quotes by David Levithan
There are few things harder than being born into the wrong body.
David Levithan
I have no more idea now of who I am than I did before. But at least I know that. And I'm starting to figure out who I want to be.
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
We do not start as dust. We do not end as dust. We make more than dust. That's all we ask of you. Make more than dust.
David Levithan
All this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.
David Levithan
I don't want to steal anybody's story. I very much want to use the stories that I hear to get lost in my mind, to tell a larger story.
David Levithan
I had made it somewhere special, and I'd gotten there all on my own. Nobody had given it to me. Nobody had told me to do it. I'd climbed and climbed and climbed, and this was my reward. To watch over the world, and to be alone with myself. That, I found, was what I needed.
David Levithan
The boy I loved didn't know I existed. Then again, he was obsessed with Camus, so he didn't know if any of us existed.
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
We found out a long time ago that we weren’t meant to fall in love with each other. But a part of me still fell in hope with him.
David Levithan
But I guess you don't see the planets when you're staring at the sun. You just get blinded.
David Levithan
motif, n. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you.
David Levithan
Little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.
David Levithan
When the shock wears off, you always hope there's understanding underneath.
David Levithan
I don’t want to throw everything away for something uncertain.
David Levithan
Breathing is hard. When you cry so much, it makes you realize that breathing is hard.
David Levithan
Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given.
David Levithan
You don't know, but I'm noticing.
David Levithan
Maybe language is kind, giving us these double meanings. Maybe it's trying to teach us a lesson, that we can always be two things at once.
David Levithan
So what do you have to confess now? I don't know why I'm saying any of this, except that is the truth. I'm confessing that I don't know if I'm ready for this. What is 'this'? Being open. Being hurt. Liking. Not being liked. Seeing the flicker on. Seeing the flicker off. Leaping. Falling. Crashing.
