More quotes by 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
Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together
David Levithan
This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
David Levithan
I would always wait to take you home.
David Levithan
The terrorists-those nineteen people, with hundreds or maybe thousands behind them-did the worst thing you can possibly imagine. But tens of millions people did the right thing...On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring.
David Levithan
They never played games with each other, they never had tow worry where they stood, because if either of them had a moment of wavering, the other would say I love you and would mean it and all doubts were forgiven because in this one case it was found that love conquers all.

I know from experience that beneath every peripheral girl is a central truth. She’s hiding hers away, but at the same time she wants me to see it.
David Levithan
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.
David Levithan
arrears, n. My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I though would go wrong, I never thought it would be that. It was a mistake, you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.
David Levithan
Let me hold on to this the way it was, before I knew anything else.
David Levithan
love is tied to truth. I think of them as unhappily conjoined twins.
David Levithan
...but the truth is that I don't feel like I can carry anyone but myself right now. The streets are empty. I am empty. Or, no--I am full of pain. It's my life that's empty.
David Levithan
You have to believe there are kisses and laughs and risks worth taking.
David Levithan
I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation
David Levithan
It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean.
David Levithan
fraught, adj. Does every “I love you” deserve an “I love you too”? Does every kiss deserve a kiss back? Does every night deserve to be spent on a lover? If the answer to any of these is “No,” what do we do?
David Levithan
Because that's the thing about mean people: They make you think that the world will never work, that there are divides that you will fall into if you approach. It takes a whole lot of good people to fill in the breach created by a single mean one.
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
Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.
