More quotes by David Levithan
There is certainty in a ring. The non-ending, the non-beginning. The ongoing. The way it holds on to you not because it's fastened or stretched or adhered. It holds on because it fits.
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.
David Levithan
Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
David Levithan
I wake up feverish, sore, uncomfortable. Is it sickness or is it heartbreak? I can't tell. The thermometer says I'm normal, but I'm clearly not.
David Levithan
I still don’t know if this is a good quality or a bad one, to be able to be in the moment and then step out of it.
David Levithan
Sometimes when you hit send, you can imagine the message going straight into the person's heart. But other times, like this time, it feels like the words are merely falling into a well.
David Levithan
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
David Levithan
Every time you love someone, you put not just your faith in them, but your faith in everything to the test.
David Levithan
I've worn black today, because I've heard so often that it's supposed to be slimming. But instead I am this sphere of darkness submarining through the halls.
David Levithan
He is much stronger than I think I am. He is mischievous, outgoing, ready to soar through the clouds, while I often feel like the cloud itself.
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
I am stronger than words and I am bigger than the box I'm in, and then I see her in the crowd and I fall apart.
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
Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
David Levithan
I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too.
David Levithan
Falling in love with someone doesn’t mean you know any better how they feel. It only means you know how you feel.
David Levithan
I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.
David Levithan
He’ll have to prove it to you. Every day, he’ll have to prove he’s worthy of you. And if he doesn’t, that’s it. But I think he will.
David Levithan
Slowly would be better than not at all.
David Levithan
You can't deny that there's something between us. No. There is. When I saw you today--I didn't know I'd been waiting for you until you were there. And then all of that waiting rushed through me in a second. That's something... but I don't know if it's certainty.
