“I say good-bye to hope, but I also say good-bye to hope's disappointment.”

“(Kindness) is much more a sign of character than mere niceness. Kindness connects to who you are, while niceness connects to how you want to be seen."-David Levithan (Every Day)”
David Levithan“But I don't like it, okay? I don't like how everything is changing. It's like when you're a kid, you think that things like the holidays are meant to show you how things always stay the same, how you have the same celebration year after year, and that's why it's so special. But the older you get, the more you realize that, yes, there are all these things that link you to the past, and you're using the same words and singing the same songs that have always been there for you, but each time, things have shifted, and you have to deal with that shift. Because maybe you don't notice it every single day. Maybe it's only on days like today that you notice it a lot. And I know I'm supposed to be able to deal with that, but I'm not sure I can deal with that.--David Levithan (p. 201 in galley)”
David Levithan, The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily“What's the point of all this magic, if no one really knows how to use it? But I guess the same could be said about life. Which is another form of magic, only less showy.”
David Levithan“You can find sorrow in the arithmetic, and you can find a bittersweet hope.”
David Levithan, Are We There Yet?“I didn't want to see her. I was desperate to see her. I wanted to hold it together. I wanted to melt down right at her feet and scream, Look what you've done to me.”
David Levithan, How They Met, and Other Stories“The word I think of is precarious. I am struck by how precarious it all is. How the things that hold us are only as strong as the faith we have in them.”
David Levithan, The Realm of Possibility“I don't have the heart to tell him that's the wrong way to think about the world. There will always be more questions Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.”
David Levithan, Every Day“It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.”
David Levithan, Every Day“Now she’s lit by the warm orange spreading from the horizon as not-quite-day, becomes not-quite-night”
