Feeling someone else's anger is bad being left alone is worse.
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
It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it's lonely, because you feel you can't talk about it. You feel it's something between you and the body. You feel it's a battle you will never win . . . and yet you fight it day after day, and it wears you down. Even if you try to ignore it, the energy it takes to ignore it will exhaust you.
David Levithan
We just want to walk. Our legs need to move to keep our minds from collapsing.
David Levithan
it's gonna hurt because it matters.
David Levithan
Because that's the thing about mean people: They make you think that the world will never work, that there are divides that you will fall into if you approach. It takes a whole lot of good people to fill in the breach created by a single mean one.
David Levithan
Please may this not be a game. Please may this not be a game. Because if it’s a game, I know I’m going to lose.
David Levithan
Pride is allowed to have an element of worry, especially when you are a mother.
David Levithan
I am proud that I defy your categories. I am proud that I don't fit easily into any box. I am proud of all the things I am and all the things i can be. Question yourself every time you think you only see one thing in me.
David Levithan
breathtaking, adj. Those moments when we kiss and surrender for an hour before we say a single word.
David Levithan
Let me hold on to this the way it was, before I knew anything else.
David Levithan
aloof, adj. It has always been my habit, ever since junior high school, to ask that question: “What are you thinking?” It is always an act of desperation, and I keep on asking, even though I know it will never work the way I want it to.
David Levithan
I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.
David Levithan
I say good-bye to the part of myself that misses him so much.
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
Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love.
David Levithan
When he talked to you, you seemed to fit in, but when someone else was talking, or he would be distracted, you jsut looked lonely over there. At least to me. But whenever I would tell you that, you'd say I'm fine. I just slip out of it, you know? And I'd say I'll catch you, and you would say, It's not the kind of slipping you can catch.
David Levithan
Little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.
David Levithan
You have to believe there are kisses and laughs and risks worth taking.
David Levithan
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.
