It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason.
David Levithan
When someone breaks up with you, their beauty-- which you took such satisfaction in-- suddenly becomes unfair.

There is no such thing as equality for some. Equality must be for all. That is what freedom is. That is what liberty is. No human being is born more or less important than any other. How can we allow ourselves to forget that? What simpler truth is there?

It's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.

I think that if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring. I have to believe that.
David Levithan
Maybe that's what history is, you go from one I can't believe it the next. And sometimes the I can't believe its are good, and sometimes they're bad. But the sum total of positive ones always outweighs the negative ones.

Sharing truth is not the kind of gift that comes in wrapping paper - ripped open once and, there, you're done. No, this is a gift that must be unfolded.

I don’t like it when you use my shampoo, because then your hair smells like me, not you.

..I've been trying to argue myself into thinking these things don't matter, A. Really,I have. But I've lost the argument. And I can't keep having it, when I know what the real answer is.
David Levithan
I am constantly torn between killing myself and killing everyone around me.

Readers embrace all kinds of characters as long as they are written with emotional truth.
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
Laughter rarely lasts longer than a few seconds, it's true. But how enjoyable those few seconds are.
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.

I want you to spend the night, you said. And it was definitely your phrasing that ensured it. If you had said, Let's have sex, or Let's go to my place, or even I really want you, I'm not sure we would have gone quite as far as we did. But I loved the notion that the night was mine to spend, and I immediately decided to spend it wit

There are times when I worry that I've already lost myself. That is, that my self is so inseparable from being with you that if we were to separate, I would no longer be. I save this thought for when I feel the darkest discontent. I never meant to depend so much on someone else.
David Levithan
I had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.
David Levithan
We love and we feel and we try and we hope.
David Levithan
