More quotes by David Levithan
I have no more idea now of who I am than I did before. But at least I know that. And I'm starting to figure out who I want to be.
David Levithan
We found out a long time ago that we weren’t meant to fall in love with each other. But a part of me still fell in hope with him.
David Levithan
No, really,' I said. 'I think she's great. And I honestly like her about twenty more times now than I did when we were dating. But love needs to have a future. And Sofia and I don't have a future. We've just had a good time sharing the present, that's all.
David Levithan
This is the hard part about having best friends that I feel no attachment to -- I don't give them any benefit of the doubt. And being best friends is always about the benefit of the doubt.
David Levithan
You know what’s a great metaphor for love? Sleeping beauty. Because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up. — Tiny Cooper
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
We pencil-sketch our previous life so we can contrast it to the technicolor of the moment.
David Levithan
Kindness connects to who you are, while niceness connects to how you want to be seen.
David Levithan
I want my own books to have their own shelves, you said, and that's how I knew it would be okay to live together.
David Levithan
I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.
David Levithan
The minute I knew I was in love was the minute when there was no question about it.
David Levithan
Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this.
David Levithan
Even if you were green and had a beard and a male appendage between your legs. Even if your eyebrows were orange and you had a mole covering your entire cheek and a nose that poked me in the eye every time I kissed you. Even if you weighed seven hundred pounds and had hair the size of a Doberman under your arms. Even then, I would love you.
David Levithan
I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.
David Levithan
Maybe that's what history is, you go from one I can't believe it the next. And sometimes the I can't believe its are good, and sometimes they're bad. But the sum total of positive ones always outweighs the negative ones.
David Levithan
I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.
David Levithan
I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking, and then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are azure indigo cerulean cobalt periwinkle and suddenly the blue will not seem so dark, more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun.
David Levithan
Jesus died for our sins, Noah says solemnly. What?!? I reply, choking back my thoughts. I was just seeing if you were listening.
David Levithan
Indelible, adj. That first night, you took your finger and pointed to the top of my head, then traced a line between my eyes, down my nose, over my lips, my chin, my neck, to the center of my chest. It was so surprising. I knew I would never mimic it. That one gesture would be yours forever.
David Levithan
I can flirt with the best of them, but only when it doesn't matter.
