David Levithan Quotes

Things are not magical because they’ve been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them Picture Quote #1

When distractions are manifold, it’s best to remember what you are supposed to be doing Picture Quote #1

It’s one of the secrets of strength: We’re so much more likely to find it in the service of others than in service to ourselves Picture Quote #1

There are boys so enraptured by love that they can’t get their hearts to slow down enough to get some rest, and other boys so damaged by love that they can’t stop picking at their pain Picture Quote #1

Laughter rarely lasts longer than a few seconds, it’s true. But how enjoyable those few seconds are Picture Quote #1

It is very hard to stay alive just for your own sake. It is very hard to stare into day after day without another familiar face staring back. It turns your heart into a purposeless muscle Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

No matter how happy we are, no matter how much we want our night to stretch out infinitely, sleep is inevitable Picture Quote #1

If you let the world in, you open yourself up to the world. Even if the world doesn’t know that you’re there Picture Quote #1

There are all these moments you don’t think you will survive. And then you survive Picture Quote #1

The truth feels different from other things. The closest you can come to describing it is that it feels like taking a perfect breath Picture Quote #1

And once again I think about how people use the devil as an alias for the things they fear. The cause and effect is backward. The devil doesn’t make anyone do anything. People just do things and blame the devil after Picture Quote #1

Maybe tonight you’re scared of falling, and maybe there’s somebody here or somewhere else you’re thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you’re gonna land, and I gotta tell you, friends, to stop thinking about the landing, because it’s all about falling Picture Quote #1

In school, the year was the marker. Fifth grade. Senior year of high school. Sophomore year of college. Then after, the jobs were the marker. That office. This desk. But now that school is over and I’ve been working at the same place in the same office at the same desk for longer than I can truly believe, I realize: You have become the marker. This is your era. And it’s only if it goes on and on that will have to look for other ways to identify the time Picture Quote #1

For the first time in my life I realize why hangers are called hangers, because after fifteen minutes of trying things on and throwing them aside, all I want to do is hook one to the top of my closet door, lean my neck into the loop, and let my weight fall Picture Quote #1

Isaac knows how stupid I find these things, and he finds them just as stupid as I do. like lol. now, if there’s anything stupider than buddy lists, it’s lol. if anyone ever uses lol with me, I rip my computer right out of the wall and smash it over the nearest head. I mean, it’s not like anyone’s laughing out loud about the things they lol. I think it should be spelled loll, like what a lobotomized person’s tongue d Picture Quote #1

There was a pause. I was still scared by every gap in our conversation, fearing that this was it, the point where we had nothing left to say. I was still trying to impress you, and I still wanted to be impressed by you, so I could pass along pieces of your impressiveness to my friends, convincing myself this was possible Picture Quote #1

I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won’t be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth Picture Quote #1

It daunted me that you were so beautiful, that you were so at ease in social situations, as if every room was heliotropic, with you at the center. And I guess it daunted you that I had so many more friends than you, that I could put my words together like this, on paper, and could sometimes conjure a certain sense out of things. The key is to never recognize these imbalances. To not let the dauntingness daunt us Picture Quote #1

That air. The air afterwards. I wanted to breathe it in. It felt right to breathe it in. Because we were breathing them in, weren’t we? And the building. We were breathing it all in. And I thought, there’s a part of this that’s actually a part of me now. I now have that responsibility. I am alive, and I am breathing, and I can do the things this dust can’t do Picture Quote #1

I had made it somewhere special, and I’d gotten there all on my own. Nobody had given it to me. Nobody had told me to do it. I’d climbed and climbed and climbed, and this was my reward. To watch over the world, and to be alone with myself. That, I found, was what I needed Picture Quote #1
