fraught, adj. Does every “I love you” deserve an “I love you too”? Does every kiss deserve a kiss back? Does every night deserve to be spent on a lover? If the answer to any of these is “No,” what do we do?

More quotes by David Levithan
It's the way you say thank you like you're genuinely thankful. I have never met anyone else who does that on a regular basis.
David Levithan
Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
David Levithan
it's gonna hurt because it matters.
David Levithan
Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.
David Levithan
The world, right now, is only us.
David Levithan
Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
David Levithan
placid, adj. Sometimes I love it when we just lie on our backs, gaze off, stay still.
David Levithan
So I said I wanted you to stay, even though nothing could stay the same.
David Levithan
Maybe there is hope in the fragments, that what is lost can always be filled in by someone who knows.
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
Love weaves itself from hundreds of threads.
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
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
David Levithan
Love is the higher law.
David Levithan
If goodness can't come from bad things, it makes bad things unbearable.

love is tied to truth. I think of them as unhappily conjoined twins.
David Levithan
His books are kept on freestanding shelves hung at different angles on a sea-green wall. They defy gravity, as good books should.
David Levithan
When is a night over? Is it the start of sunrise or the end of it? Is it when you finally go to sleep or simply realize that you have to? When the club closes or when you everyone leaves? It's over when you decide it's over, she says. When you call it a night. The rest is just a matter of where the sun is in the sky.
David Levithan
Every time you love someone, you put not just your faith in them, but your faith in everything to the test.
