David Levithan
It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.
David Levithan
You have to trust the words. They do not create anything more than themselves.

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
I am stronger than words and I am bigger than the box I'm in, and then I see her in the crowd and I fall apart.

This is my life, I think. I am an accumulation of objects.

...and suddenly you started singing out your love for me. My name and everything, loud enough to reach the top floors of all the buildings.

Holden Caulfield is the embodiment of what we mean by the phrase “young adult” – too young to be a grown-up, but too wise to the world to be completely innocent. He’s caught in the in-between, and that in-between is what all young adult authors write about.
David Levithan
Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.
David Levithan
Maybe there is hope in the fragments, that what is lost can always be filled in by someone who knows.
David Levithan
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.
David Levithan
placid, adj. Sometimes I love it when we just lie on our backs, gaze off, stay still.
David Levithan
But we comforted ourselves with what we really meant to say, which was: I don't normally feel this good about what I'm doing. Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
David Levithan
This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
David Levithan
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.
David Levithan
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.

next to it was a dvd called 'as i get laid dying,' which had a hospital scene on the front. it was like grey's anatomy, only with less grey and more anatomy.
