More quotes by 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
I have learned how to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present, because that is where I am destined to live.
David Levithan
Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.

David Levithan
We love and we feel and we try and we hope.
David Levithan
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
David Levithan
We all contain mysteries, especially when seen from the inside.
David Levithan
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.
David Levithan
It won't be a normal life-I know that. But it will be a life. A life together.
David Levithan
We pencil-sketch our previous life so we can contrast it to the technicolor of the moment.
David Levithan
So I said I wanted you to stay, even though nothing could stay the same.
David Levithan
With some break-ups, all you can think about afterwards is how badly it ended and how much the other person hurt you. With others, you become sentimental for the good times and lose track of what went wrong.
David Levithan
...but the truth is that I don't feel like I can carry anyone but myself right now. The streets are empty. I am empty. Or, no--I am full of pain. It's my life that's empty.
David Levithan
it's gonna hurt because it matters.
David Levithan
I know from experience that beneath every peripheral girl is a central truth. She’s hiding hers away, but at the same time she wants me to see it.
David Levithan
It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.
