More quotes by David Levithan
I feel the universe is telling me something. And it doesn't even matter if it's true or not. What matters is that I feel it, and believe it.
David Levithan
So what else can I tell you? I asked. I mean, to get you to reveal Lily to me.
David Levithan
Things rarely get fixed the way they need to be.
David Levithan
Because it is senior year I have begun to see things as potential absences. The things I love will become the things I'll miss.
David Levithan
There is something so intimate about saying the truth out loud. There is something so intimate about hearing the truth said. There is something so intimate about sharing the truth, even if you are not entirely sure what it means.
David Levithan
Putting up with the fear of being with the wrong person because you can't deal with the fear of being alone.
David Levithan
There's no way to release yourself from a memory. It ends when it wants to end, whether it's in a flash or long after you've begged it to stop.
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 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
It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.
David Levithan
I notice you, I want to say. Even when no one else does, I do. I will.
David Levithan
I want to write my life. I want to be able to write my life. You are a second away from saying it. You have no idea how much I love you.
David Levithan
The world, right now, is only us.
David Levithan
Your humor is your compass and your shield. You can hone it into a weapon or you can pull its strands out to make your very own cotton-candy blanket. You can’t exist on a diet of humor alone, but you can’t exist on a diet without it, either.
David Levithan
I suspected that what happens in hotel rooms rarely lasts outside of them. I suspected that when something was a beginning and an ending at the same time, that meant it could only exist in the present.
David Levithan
I want to talk to you and be random with you and be ridiculous with you.
David Levithan
But I still has enough longing for that concept that I didn't want to dispel it completely. Meaning: I didn't want to tell Lily that I felt we'd all been duped by Plato and the idea of a soul mate. Just in case it turned out that she was mine.
David Levithan
You can't know what it is like for us now--you will always be one step behind. Be thankful for that. You can't know what it was like for us then--you will always be one step ahead. Be thankful for that, too.
David Levithan
People are always separable.
David Levithan
placid, adj. Sometimes I love it when we just lie on our backs, gaze off, stay still.
