More quotes by David Levithan

David Levithan
I asked you what you wanted and you said you didn't want anything. And I told you I wasn't planning on giving you anything I was planning on giving you something.

We do not start as dust. We do not end as dust. We make more than dust. That's all we ask of you. Make more than dust.
David Levithan
Game over, you say, and I don't know which I take more exception to-- the fact that you say its over, or the fact that you say it's a game.

David Levithan
I want to know why this is such a part of me. I want to know why this thing that happened to other people has happened so much to me. I keep looking for the lesson.

I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.
David Levithan
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? It's over when you decide it's over, she says. When you call it a night. The rest is just a matter of where the sun is in the sky.
David Levithan
So what else can I tell you? I asked. I mean, to get you to reveal Lily to me.
David Levithan
Feeling someone else's anger is bad being left alone is worse.
David Levithan
This is the thing they don't tell you about being a third wheel - it's not like you're the wheel that's added on. You were one of the original two wheels, but suddenly you're not so important anymore. The relationship drives fine without you.
David Levithan
When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.
David Levithan
This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
David Levithan
I want to take back at least half of the “I love you”s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones.
David Levithan
I have learned how to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present, because that is where I am destined to live.
