David Levithan quotes about
honestly matters poorly reflects second true whether
I can honestly say I've never thought for a second about whether a character reflects poorly on any group. All that matters to me is that the character is true to my belief in who he or she is.
knowing-who-you-are trying want
I could point out that it isn't always easy knowing who you are and what you want, because then you have no excuse for not trying to get it.
feelings letters never-forget
In small letters, someone has written NEVER FORGET on one of the slats. I know it's supposed to be a pledge, but it feels like a curse. Don't we have to forget some of it? Don't we have to forget this feeling? If we don't, how will we live?
book dying way
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
mean years trapped
being with someone for over a year can mean that you love them … but it can also mean you’re trapped.
stories young believer
I'm a firm believer that every person, young or old, has at least one good story to tell.
mean trust-me reason
If I'm not telling you something, it's for a reason. Just because you trust me, it doesn't mean I have to automatically trust you. Trust doesn't work like that.
afar and-love watches
I should talk to him I know I should talk to him. But I do not talk to him. I watch after him from afar and love him.
hands years feelings
Such a strange thing, to hold a six-year-old's hand. Especially a six-year-old you've only just met. A toddler will grab hold of your finger, and someone your own age will clasp on to your whole hand, but with six-year-olds it's something in between, this acknowledgment that they can't be the one to take hold, so you have to do all the holding, folding your hand around theirs, feeling so much bigger and responsible.
want matter
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.
two people kind
There is no word for our kind of friendship. Two people who don't see each other a lot, but can make each other effortlessly happy
elevators stairs
Life tells you to take the elevator, but love tells you to take the stairs.
i-can
You are so close, and I can’t reach you.
mean odds trying
I know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you
