David Levithan quotes about
attachment giving doubt
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.
feelings doubt faces
The unwarranted devotion. Putting up with the fear of being with the wrong person because you can't deal with the fear of being alone. The hope tinged with doubt, and the doubt tinged with hope. Every time I see these feelings in someone else's face, it weighs me down.
magic way rooms
Dispel, v. It was the way you said, “I have something to tell you.” I could feel the magic drain from the room.
sleep night air
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.
getting-what-you-want figures difficult
Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it instead of figuring out what to do without it.
self bookstores helping
Because sometimes you just have to dance like a madman in the Self-Help section of your local bookstore.
moving thinking giving
We switch to another language-- not our invented language or the language we've learned from our lives. As we walk further up the mountain, we speak the language of silence. This language gives us time to think and move. We can be here and elsewhere at the same time.
love-each-other
Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
sleep heart dark
The way you're singing in your sleep The way you look before you leap The strange illusions that you keep You don't know But I'm noticing The way your touch turns into arcs The way you slide into the dark The beating of my open heart You don't know But I'm noticing
choices storm landscape
Once the storm comes out, the landscape changes. What you had before is altered in some way. And you have a choice: build something new and better from what is left or abandon it.
stunning hard accidents
Beauty comes naturally, but it's hard to be stunning by accident.
self-esteem cutting clothes
Self-esteem can be so exhausting. I want to cut my hair, change my clothes, erase the pimple from the near-tip of my nose, and strengthen my upper-arm definition, all in the next hour.
pairs lovers assumption
There is no word for the recipient of the love. There is only a word for the giver. There is the assumption that lovers come in pairs.
want indicators persons
Because when something happens, she's the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.
