More quotes by David Levithan
Be careful what you're doing, because no one is ever who you want them to be.
David Levithan
We switch to another language-- not our invented language or the language we've learned from our lives. As we walk further up the mountain, we speak the language of silence. This language gives us time to think and move. We can be here and elsewhere at the same time.
David Levithan
Dullness is the spice of life. Which is why we must always use other spices.
David Levithan
But I had a feeling I wasn't supposed to find her that way. She was not a needle. This was not a haystack. We were people, and people had ways of finding each other.
David Levithan
Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given.
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 get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end.

It was one of those moments when you feel the future so much that it humbles the present.

Here, she said. This is for you. I didn't really get you anything, I sputtered. I mean, I didn't know that you were going to be here, and-- Don't worry. It's your embarrassment at not having the thought that counts.
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
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.

Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
David Levithan
If you start the day reading the obituaries, you live your day a little differently.
David Levithan
Now when I have to remember a date, all I have to do is consult my rap sheet.
David Levithan
I never know what you really want, if I can give it to you, or if I’m already too late.
David Levithan
To love--to fall--is not a question. To touch--to kiss--to speak--those are questions.
David Levithan
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship, I say. Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.
David Levithan
I couldn't fault her for believing, because I had to imagine i was nice to have that illusion still intact.
David Levithan
Jesus died for our sins, Noah says solemnly. What?!? I reply, choking back my thoughts. I was just seeing if you were listening.
David Levithan
Which is more stubborn, the love or the two arguing people caught within it?
