More quotes by David Levithan
I am constantly torn between killing myself and killing everyone around me.
David Levithan

It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it's lonely, because you feel you can't talk about it. You feel it's something between you and the body. You feel it's a battle you will never win . . . and yet you fight it day after day, and it wears you down. Even if you try to ignore it, the energy it takes to ignore it will exhaust you.
David Levithan
I had a sense then of how if we truly understood how many of the unimportant things we do will end up outliving us, we'd never be able to go on.
David Levithan
This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
David Levithan
I suspected that what happens in hotel rooms rarely lasts outside of them. I suspected that when something was a beginning and an ending at the same time, that meant it could only exist in the present.
David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.
David Levithan
I want to kiss her without counting the seconds. I want to hold her so long that I get to know her skin. I want, I want, I want.
David Levithan
I find my greatest strengths in wanting ti be strong. I find my greatest bravery in deciding to be brave.
David Levithan
Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them.
David Levithan
When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.
David Levithan
Fate has a strange way of making plans.
David Levithan
I'll see you later, he says, and as he does, he runs his finger briefly over my wrist. It passes over me like air, and makes me shiver like a kiss.
