More quotes by David Levithan

Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
David Levithan
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.
David Levithan
me: you know what sucks about love? o.w.g.: what? me: that it's so tied to the truth.
David Levithan
Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given.
David Levithan
I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.
David Levithan
Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them.
David Levithan
When you live as I do, you cannot indulge in jealousy. If you do, it will rip you apart.
David Levithan
I find I very rarely live up to my words. And since you know me primarily through my words, there are oh so many ways I can disappoint.
David Levithan
You know what’s a great metaphor for love? Sleeping beauty. Because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up. — Tiny Cooper
David Levithan
If you stare at the center of the universe, there is coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other.
