Every relationship has a hard part at the beginning. This is our hard part. It's not like a puzzle piece where there's an instant fit. With relationships, you have to shape the pieces on each end before they go perfectly together.

Sharing truth is not the kind of gift that comes in wrapping paper - ripped open once and, there, you're done. No, this is a gift that must be unfolded.
David Levithan
aloof, adj. It has always been my habit, ever since junior high school, to ask that question: “What are you thinking?” It is always an act of desperation, and I keep on asking, even though I know it will never work the way I want it to.
David Levithan
Game over, you say, and I don't know which I take more exception to-- the fact that you say its over, or the fact that you say it's a game.
David Levithan
Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.
David Levithan
I don’t want you to think I got through this undamaged, okay? But I’m learning to live with it. Because otherwise, the damage is all you are.
David Levithan
...he hopes that maybe it'll make people a little less scared of two boys kissing than they were before, and a little more welcoming to the idea that all people are, in fact, born equal, no matter who they kiss or screw, no matter what dreams they have or love they give.
David Levithan
I think that if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring. I have to believe that.
David Levithan
Tell me a way you think this can work. We'll find a way, I tell her. That's not an answer. It's a hope. Hope's gotten us this far. Not answers.
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
It's you. You deserve this. There is a reason this is happening to you.
David Levithan
With all due respect, if you’re forty-three, then I’m a fetus.
David Levithan
I say good-bye to hope, but I also say good-bye to hope's disappointment.
David Levithan
You never let things go unanswered for too long. Emails. Phone calls. Questions. As if you know the waiting is the hardest part for me.
David Levithan
Every you, every me. Fractals. Fractures.
David Levithan
I am proud that I defy your categories. I am proud that I don't fit easily into any box. I am proud of all the things I am and all the things i can be. Question yourself every time you think you only see one thing in me.
David Levithan
How sad it must be for you to be nothing more than a hollow statue, to have your tomb preserved and your story forgotten.
David Levithan
I see Nick's number. I debate whether to assign a name to his number. If I commit to that, then I will truly be heartbroken if he never calls me again my heart will knot each and every time I use this phone and see his name in there. I would probably end up having to trash the phone entirely.

David Levithan
I have learned how to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present, because that is where I am destined to live.
David Levithan
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.
