David Levithan quotes about

Putting up with the fear of being with the wrong person because you can't deal with the fear of being alone.

Even if neither of us got what we wanted, we found freedom in the third choices.
facts lasts lasting
That lasting things do, in fact, last.
night doe said
That's the question, isn't it?" you said one night. "Does death bring freedom, or is it the end of freedom?
looks moments
But death is not freedom. For a moment, it can look like freedom. But then it's death. Anything. Something. Nothing.

Love me less, but love me for a long time
want appreciated
What I really want, and what I never get - is to be appreciated.
