More quotes by 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
You wanna-I dunno-get coffee or something sometime?
David Levithan
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?
David Levithan
Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
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.
David Levithan
This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance.
David Levithan
Laughter rarely lasts longer than a few seconds, it's true. But how enjoyable those few seconds are.
David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.

It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it's lonely, because you feel you can't talk about it. You feel it's something between you and the body. You feel it's a battle you will never win . . . and yet you fight it day after day, and it wears you down. Even if you try to ignore it, the energy it takes to ignore it will exhaust you.
David Levithan
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.
David Levithan
I am constantly torn between killing myself and killing everyone around me.
David Levithan
Yesterday is another world. I want to go back there.
David Levithan
breathtaking, adj. Those moments when we kiss and surrender for an hour before we say a single word.
David Levithan
So what do you have to confess now? I don't know why I'm saying any of this, except that is the truth. I'm confessing that I don't know if I'm ready for this. What is 'this'? Being open. Being hurt. Liking. Not being liked. Seeing the flicker on. Seeing the flicker off. Leaping. Falling. Crashing.
David Levithan
You know, I'd get a tattoo with your name on it. Only, I want you to have the freedom to change your name if you want to.
David Levithan
She transforms once again into someone carefree, and I transform into someone whose only care is her.
David Levithan
She stays in the same spot, anchored by the profound, desperate loneliness of a bad relationship.
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
me: you know what sucks about love? o.w.g.: what? me: that it's so tied to the truth.
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.
