I don’t want to know anything, and I want to know it all
David Levithan
People say that time slips through our fingers like sand. What they don't acknowledge is that some of the sand sticks to the skin. These are memories that will remain, memories of the time when there was still time left.

When is a night over? Is it the start of sunrise or the end of it? Is it when you finally go to sleep or simply realize that you have to? When the club closes or when you everyone leaves?

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
He doesn’t just look upset—he looks newly blind. There is such loss in his eyes, and it permeates every other part of his body.
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
Once you experience enormity, it lingers everywhere you look, and want to be every word you say.
David Levithan
It is hard to stop seeing your son as a son and to start seeing him as a human being. It is hard to stop seeing your parents as parents and to start seeing them as human beings. It's a two-sided transition, and very few people manage it gracefully.
David Levithan
Dullness is the spice of life. Which is why we must always use other spices.
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.
