More quotes by David Levithan
I know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you
David Levithan
I can't pretend to know what love is. It just is.
David Levithan
I know from experience that beneath every peripheral girl is a central truth. She’s hiding hers away, but at the same time she wants me to see it.
David Levithan
dissonance, n. Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk to you and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't here it.
David Levithan
I have always been aware of how I break. I know what kind of situations will break me. I know what kind of people will do it. I know how much it will hurt.
David Levithan
There is no word for our kind of friendship. Two people who don't see each other a lot, but can make each other effortlessly happy
David Levithan
The boy I just kissed is talking to my father. The boy I want to kiss again is waiting for my mother to serve pancakes. I must fight the urge to freak.
David Levithan
Then I go in the den and turn on Law & Order, since the only thing i can really count on in life is that whenever I turn on the TV, there will be a Law & Order episode.
David Levithan
The tenderness between two people can turn the air tender, the room tender, time itself tender. As I step out of bed and slip on an oversize shirt, everything around me feels like it's the temperature of happiness.
David Levithan
I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.
David Levithan
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
Be careful what you're doing, because no one is ever who you want them to be.
David Levithan
I had forgotten this about love: how the simple things- the turn away, the turn towards- could be so complicated, and how the complicated things- the stolen night, the right words- could be so simple.
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
Slowly would be better than not at all.
David Levithan
We always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves. We need someone else to get close enough to tell us we’re wrong. Someone we trust.
David Levithan
I want my own books to have their own shelves, you said, and that's how I knew it would be okay to live together.
David Levithan
This is a difference between us: you desire what other people have, while I desire the things I used to have, or think I might have one day.
David Levithan
The minute I knew I was in love was the minute when there was no question about it.
David Levithan
I'll see you later, he says, and as he does, he runs his finger briefly over my wrist. It passes over me like air, and makes me shiver like a kiss.
