More quotes by David Levithan
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.

David Levithan
This is what my voice sounds like I don't need to be talking to someone else To hear it

Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together
David Levithan
Most people, I've noticed, are instinctively harsh to strangers. They expect every approach to be an attack, every question to be an interruption.

David Levithan
We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.
David Levithan
He has no idea how beautiful the ordinary becomes once it disappears.
