I don’t want to throw everything away for something uncertain.
David Levithan
I never know what you really want, if I can give it to you, or if I’m already too late.
David Levithan
the world loves stupid labels. i wish we got to choose our own.
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
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.
David Levithan
I had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.
David Levithan
I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.
David Levithan
They never played games with each other, they never had tow worry where they stood, because if either of them had a moment of wavering, the other would say I love you and would mean it and all doubts were forgiven because in this one case it was found that love conquers all.
David Levithan
Every you, every me. Fractals. Fractures.
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
Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.
David Levithan
This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance.
David Levithan
Kindness connects to who you are, while niceness connects to how you want to be seen.
David Levithan
Yesterday is another world. I want to go back there.
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
David Levithan
Pink is female - but why? Are girls any more pink than boys? Are boys any more blue than girls? It's something that has been sold to us, mostly so other things can be sold to us.
David Levithan
tiny: but there is the word, this word phil wrayson taught me once: weltschmerz. it's the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be. i live in a big goddamned weltzschermz ocean, you know? and so do you.
David Levithan
The mistake is thinking that there can be an antidote to the uncertainty.
David Levithan
The terrorists-those nineteen people, with hundreds or maybe thousands behind them-did the worst thing you can possibly imagine. But tens of millions people did the right thing...On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring.
David Levithan
placid, adj. Sometimes I love it when we just lie on our backs, gaze off, stay still.
