Maybe there's a way to keep us in this moment. Not the sad part. But the coming together part.
David Levithan
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship, I say. Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.

It doesn't have to be on Valentine's Day. It doesn't have to be by the time you turn eighteen or thirty-three or fifty-nine. It doesn't have to conform to whatever is usual.

We switch to another language-- not our invented language or the language we've learned from our lives. As we walk further up the mountain, we speak the language of silence. This language gives us time to think and move. We can be here and elsewhere at the same time.
David Levithan
Laughter rarely lasts longer than a few seconds, it's true. But how enjoyable those few seconds are.
David Levithan
I was attempting to write the story of my life. It wasn't so much about plot. It was much more about character.
David Levithan
I’ve found that people tend to trust other people who dress like them.
David Levithan
Once time is lit, it will burn whether or not you're breathing it in. Even after smoke becomes air, there is the memory of smoke. I am seeing as if by the light of a match, a glimpse of my life and having it feel right.
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
It's almost heartening to think that the attachment you have can define your perception as much as any other influence.
David Levithan
When you live as I do, you cannot indulge in jealousy. If you do, it will rip you apart.

If you want to be loved, be a lovable. It's a good place to start.
