More quotes by 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

It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it's lonely, because you feel you can't talk about it. You feel it's something between you and the body. You feel it's a battle you will never win . . . and yet you fight it day after day, and it wears you down. Even if you try to ignore it, the energy it takes to ignore it will exhaust you.

David Levithan
Maybe there is hope in the fragments, that what is lost can always be filled in by someone who knows.

I text tiny a minute later. MADE NEW GAY FRIEND. And he texts back PROGRESS!!!

My face seems too square and my eyes too big, like I'm perpetually surprised, but there's nothing wrong with me that I can fix.
David Levithan
And as we drift into sleep, I feel something I’ve never felt before. A closeness that isn’t merely physical. A connection that defies the fact that we’ve only just met. A sensation that can only come from the most euphoric of feelings: belonging.
David Levithan
And once again I think about how people use the devil as an alias for the things they fear. The cause and effect is backward. The devil doesn't make anyone do anything. People just do things and blame the devil after.
David Levithan
I notice you, I want to say. Even when no one else does, I do. I will.
David Levithan
I can't pretend to know what love is. It just is.

A photograph it a souvenir of a memory. It is not a moment. It is the looking at the photograph that becomes the moment. Your own moment.

Dullness is the spice of life. Which is why we must always use other spices.
