More quotes by 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
Little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.
David Levithan
He has no idea how beautiful the ordinary becomes once it disappears.
David Levithan
Life goes on. Get over it. You're still young. It'll get better. Blah, Blah, Blah
David Levithan
I still don’t know if this is a good quality or a bad one, to be able to be in the moment and then step out of it.

I see Nick's number. I debate whether to assign a name to his number. If I commit to that, then I will truly be heartbroken if he never calls me again my heart will knot each and every time I use this phone and see his name in there. I would probably end up having to trash the phone entirely.
David Levithan
Game over, you say, and I don't know which I take more exception to-- the fact that you say its over, or the fact that you say it's a game.
David Levithan
And once again I think about how people use the devil as an alias for the things they fear. The cause and effect is backward. The devil doesn't make anyone do anything. People just do things and blame the devil after.
David Levithan
I have taken advantage of other people's weaknesses in order to cover my own.
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
Pride is allowed to have an element of worry, especially when you are a mother.
David Levithan
Sorry to be so cynical, but this is New York
David Levithan
If smart people are parodying it, that's a sure sign that some less smart people are believing it.
David Levithan
The minute I knew I was in love was the minute when there was no question about it.
David Levithan
It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean.
David Levithan
It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it’s lonely, because you feel you can’t talk about it.
David Levithan
Maybe, it's not the distance that's the problem, but how you handle it.
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
Maybe that's what history is, you go from one I can't believe it the next. And sometimes the I can't believe its are good, and sometimes they're bad. But the sum total of positive ones always outweighs the negative ones.
