More quotes by David Levithan
But we comforted ourselves with what we really meant to say, which was: I don't normally feel this good about what I'm doing. Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
David Levithan
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.
David Levithan
it's gonna hurt because it matters.
David Levithan
She is so lost in her sadness that she has no idea how visible it is.
David Levithan
It is much harder to lie to someone's face. But. It is also much harder to tell the truth to someone's face.
David Levithan
I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.
David Levithan

It's like you're a character in this book that everyone around you is writing, and suddenly you have to say, 'I'm sorry, but this role isn't right for me'. And you have to start writing your own life and doing your own thing.
David Levithan

David Levithan

David Levithan
You have to trust the words. They do not create anything more than themselves.
David Levithan
We always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves. We need someone else to get close enough to tell us we’re wrong. Someone we trust.
David Levithan
Be careful what you're doing, because no one is ever who you want them to be.
David Levithan
Teens wanted things that were real, that they connected with, it doesn't have to reflect reality directly. They love 'The Hunger Games' not because it's real in that it happens, but the emotions there are real, and it's very relatable.
David Levithan
I want to write my life. I want to be able to write my life. You are a second away from saying it. You have no idea how much I love you.
David Levithan
If smart people are parodying it, that's a sure sign that some less smart people are believing it.
David Levithan
I had a sense then of how if we truly understood how many of the unimportant things we do will end up outliving us, we'd never be able to go on.
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
I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too.
