More quotes by David Levithan
There is certainty in a ring. The non-ending, the non-beginning. The ongoing. The way it holds on to you not because it's fastened or stretched or adhered. It holds on because it fits.
David Levithan
I say good-bye to the part of myself that misses him so much.
David Levithan
It's you. You deserve this. There is a reason this is happening to you.
David Levithan
When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.
David Levithan
I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.
David Levithan
Two infinities: the one that stretches to the beginning but never touches-when you halve and halve and halve, infinitely-and then the one that spreads out into the endless, endless future, the endless, endless, distance.The set of infinities that is itself infinite.
David Levithan
I preferred to hang out with the dead, dying, or desperate books - used we call them, in a way that we'd never call a person, unless we meant it cruelly
David Levithan
he is both the source of my happiness and the one i want to share it with.
David Levithan
We found out a long time ago that we weren’t meant to fall in love with each other. But a part of me still fell in hope with him.
David Levithan
That lasting things do, in fact, last.
David Levithan
Maybe language is kind, giving us these double meanings. Maybe it's trying to teach us a lesson, that we can always be two things at once.
David Levithan
Once time is lit, it will burn whether or not you're breathing it in. Even after smoke becomes air, there is the memory of smoke. I am seeing as if by the light of a match, a glimpse of my life and having it feel right.
David Levithan
You can't deny that there's something between us. No. There is. When I saw you today--I didn't know I'd been waiting for you until you were there. And then all of that waiting rushed through me in a second. That's something... but I don't know if it's certainty.
David Levithan
We stay this way until twilight colours the window and the hour calls me home
David Levithan
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.
David Levithan
It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.
David Levithan
placid, adj. Sometimes I love it when we just lie on our backs, gaze off, stay still.
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
I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way.
David Levithan
Even if you were green and had a beard and a male appendage between your legs. Even if your eyebrows were orange and you had a mole covering your entire cheek and a nose that poked me in the eye every time I kissed you. Even if you weighed seven hundred pounds and had hair the size of a Doberman under your arms. Even then, I would love you.
