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
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
David Levithan
I never felt the urge to jump off a bridge, but there are times I have wanted to jump out of my life, out of my skin.
David Levithan
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.
David Levithan
I had forgotten this about love: how the simple things- the turn away, the turn towards- could be so complicated, and how the complicated things- the stolen night, the right words- could be so simple.
David Levithan
My lines all curve. I tend to connect the wrong dots.
David Levithan
To get something you must give something away. To hold something you must give something away. To love something you must give something away.
David Levithan
Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.
David Levithan
Love is the higher law.
David Levithan
If you stare at the center of the universe, there is coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other.
David Levithan
There is no reason that we should ever be ashamed of our bodies or ashamed of our love.
