That's what it felt like - that if I let a little of the hurt out, it would keep pouring out until I was a deflated balloon of a person, with a big monster of hurt in front of me.

More quotes by David Levithan
I am constantly torn between killing myself and killing everyone around me.
David Levithan
It's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.
David Levithan
Slowly would be better than not at all.
David Levithan
You have to trust the words. They do not create anything more than themselves.

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.

We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.

David Levithan
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
It is much harder to lie to someone's face. But. It is also much harder to tell the truth to someone's face.
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 wonder if it's possible to start a new relationship without hurting someone else.
David Levithan
People are always separable.
David Levithan
When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.
David Levithan
We do not start as dust. We do not end as dust. We make more than dust. That's all we ask of you. Make more than dust.
