Breathing, n You had asthma as a child, had to carry around an inhaler. But when you grew older, it went away. You could run for miles and it was fine. Sometimes I worry that this is happening to me in reverse. The older I get, the more I lose my ability to breathe.

David Levithan
To love--to fall--is not a question. To touch--to kiss--to speak--those are questions.

A photograph it a souvenir of a memory. It is not a moment. It is the looking at the photograph that becomes the moment. Your own moment.
David Levithan
I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation
David Levithan
dissonance, n. Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk to you and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't here it.
David Levithan
Serrated, adj. And you said, I'm not sure we can.
David Levithan
When it comes to true dance, it's not about how you look, it's all about the joy you feel.
David Levithan
When you live as I do, you cannot indulge in jealousy. If you do, it will rip you apart.
David Levithan
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.

He was my first boyfriend, and I made him my everything - he was my new life, my new love, my new compass point. I guess that's the danger with firsts - you lose all sense of proportion.

Yesterday is another world. I want to go back there.
David Levithan
I preferred to hang out with the dead, dying, or desperate books - used we call them, in a way that we'd never call a person, unless we meant it cruelly
