Quotes from David Levithan

Let all the dreamers wake the nation.

Do you think that every single thing that happens in high school can be categorized as either gossip or stress?

Todo era mucho más sencillo cuando no quería nada. Cuando quieres algo y no lo consigues...puedes convertirte en alguien muy cruel

This is weird. I knew it would be weird, and it is weird, and I'm telling myself that of course it's weird, but soon it will go back to being something less weird. I know I spent tonight with a girl I'd never met before. But despite that, I still felt like I knew her instantly. Because A was A. It may have been a different body, a different voice, a different size and height. But when she looked at me, it was A. When she talked to me, it was A. How I felt--it was A.

You are not as messed up as I am.

There is a fervent joy in taking action. There is a non-abstract importance in what we are doing. The balance between right and wrong is always in question, and the only way to ensure we tip toward justice is to make sure our weight is firmly planted on the side of right. We are driving down to add our weight to the scale. We are singing because voices add as much weight as bodies do -A

If you put enough closets together, you have enough space for a room. If you put enough rooms together, you have space for a house. If you put enough houses together, you have space for a town, then a city, then a nation, then a world.

Amar es tan doloroso, ¿cómo se lo podríamos desear a alguien? Y el amor es tan esencial, ¿cómo podríamos interponernos en su camino?

Tomorrow. A little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.

No tengo narices a decirle que esa es la manera incorrecta de afrontar la vida. Siempre va a haber más preguntas. Cada respuesta desemboca en más preguntas. La única manera de sobrevivir es dejar alguna sin respuesta

I want to see you, whoever you are. And I want you to see me, whoever I am. All or nothing. Now or never.

Eso de los pecados de la carne no es más que un mecanismo de control; que si demonizas el placer de las personas eres capaz de controlar su vida

Normal people don't have to decide what's worth remembering. You are given a hierarchy, recurring characters, the help of repetition, of anticipation, the firm hold of a long history. But I have to decide the importance of each and every memory. I only remember a handful of people, and in order to do that, I have to hold tight, because the only repetition available—the only way I am going to see them again—is if I conjure them in my mind.

But the more I live with it, and the more I live in general, the more I realize: We all have days that could alter the course of our lives. Not each and every day, maybe. But a lot of them. Most of them.

What we're going to do is be there for each other. We are going to be honest and we are going to share our lives and we are going to make mistakes, often with each other's feelings. But we are going to be there. Day in, day out. Because I don't want you to be my date, A. I don't want you to be in my life and back out of it. I want you to be my constant. That, to me, is the whole point of love -Rhiannon

I want to tell Rhiannon all about it. Because when something happens, she's the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.

I feel the universe is telling me something. And it doesn't even matter if it's true or not. What matters is that I feel it, and believe it. The enormity rises within me. The universe nods along to the songs.

Sé que esta desnudez significa algo. Sé que esta desnudez es señal de confianza, que es señal de deseo. Así es como somos cuando nos abrimos el uno al otro completamente. Aquí es adonde venimos cuando no queremos seguir escondiéndonos

The best thing to do is to treat all your days well.

We say: Anything is possible. But, what we mean is: I hope good is possible.

Si quieres vivir de acuerdo a tu propia verdad, debes estar dispuesto a pasar el proceso para descubrir cuál es que, al principio es doloroso, pero, a la postre, es reconfortante

There's a carafe of water on one of the trays, and that's all we need. We could have wine. We could have vodka. We could have Cherry Cokes. It would all be the same. We're drunk on candlelight, intoxicated by air. The food is our music. The walls are our warmth.

Como si cuando muriera alguien muy cercano a nosotros intercambiásemos los lugares. Y cuando lo superáramos, en realidad, estuviéramos viviendo su vida pero al revés: desde la muerte a la vida; desde la enfermedad a la salud

I reach out my hand to say I'm sorry. He takes it, but gives nothing else away.
