David Levithan
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.
David Levithan

David Levithan
It's almost heartening to think that the attachment you have can define your perception as much as any other influence.
David Levithan
And still, for all the jealously, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you --- it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.
David Levithan
I think they have compatible silences.
David Levithan

David Levithan
I don't want to fall. All I want to do is stand on solid ground.
David Levithan
Maybe tonight you're scared of falling, and maybe there's somebody here or somewhere else you're thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you're gonna land, and i gotta tell you, friends, to stop thinking about the landing, because it's all about falling.
David Levithan
Moments into minutes. Minutes into hours. Hours into days. Days into years. Years into possibility. This will linger.
David Levithan
When it all come down to it, the thing that matters most in a relationship is principles [...] We have the same idea what’s right and what’s wrong, and that’s got us through any number of things. If you can have that with someone, then you’re most of the way toward love. Not just lover-love. Any kind of love.
