I know from experience that beneath every peripheral girl is a central truth. Sheโs hiding hers away, but at the same time she wants me to see it.
David LevithanWe are so used to releasing words, we don't know what to do with them if they stay. No matter how many times we let them go, they come back. The words that matter always stay.
David LevithanThings that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying youโre friends is easy. Being friends is not.
David LevithanI think one of the highest compliments you can give a person is that when you are talking to him, you are not thinking about the fact that you are talking to him. That is, your thoughts and words all exist on a single, engaged level. You are being yourself because you aren't bothering to think about who you should be. It is like when you talk in a dream.
