More quotes by David Levithan
I don't get this at all. It's like protesting the fact that some people are red-haired.
David Levithan
Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this.
David Levithan
Serrated, adj. And you said, I'm not sure we can.
David Levithan
To get something you must give something away. To hold something you must give something away. To love something you must give something away.
David Levithan
Once you experience enormity, it lingers everywhere you look, and want to be every word you say.
David Levithan
Your humor is your compass and your shield. You can hone it into a weapon or you can pull its strands out to make your very own cotton-candy blanket. You can’t exist on a diet of humor alone, but you can’t exist on a diet without it, either.
David Levithan
You leave the phone on beside you as you fall asleep. I sit in my bed and listen to your breathing, until I know you are safe, until I know you no longer need me for the night.
David Levithan
I barely notice colors unless I taste them. Not the yellows or the greens. I taste the deeper blues. The darker reds.
David Levithan
I try to convince myself that it's the alcohol talking. But alcohol can't talk. It just sits there. It can't even get itself out of the bottle.
David Levithan
Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
David Levithan
Maybe there is hope in the fragments, that what is lost can always be filled in by someone who knows.
David Levithan
I want to write my life. I want to be able to write my life. You are a second away from saying it. You have no idea how much I love you.
David Levithan
The words that matter always stay.
David Levithan
Here, she said. This is for you. I didn't really get you anything, I sputtered. I mean, I didn't know that you were going to be here, and-- Don't worry. It's your embarrassment at not having the thought that counts.
David Levithan
She is so lost in her sadness that she has no idea how visible it is.
David Levithan
I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.
David Levithan
And still, for all the jealously, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you --- it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.
David Levithan
I notice you, I want to say. Even when no one else does, I do. I will.
David Levithan
When it all come down to it, the thing that matters most in a relationship is principles [...] We have the same idea what’s right and what’s wrong, and that’s got us through any number of things. If you can have that with someone, then you’re most of the way toward love. Not just lover-love. Any kind of love.
David Levithan
Love me less, but love me for a long time
