“Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
—Carl Sagan

Quotes from, THE LOVER’S DICTIONARY by David Levithan
- “Sometimes during sex, I wish there was a button on the small of your back that I could press and cause you to be done with it already.”
- “The brief transcript of moments, written on the body, is so deeply satisfying to read.”
- “‘Most times when I’m having sex, I’d rather be reading.’ This was, I admit, a strange thing to say on a second date. I guess I was just giving you a warning. ‘Most times when I’m reading,’ you said, ‘I’d rather be having sex.’”
- “My rush to say I loved you, too, I left the television on, I let that light bathe us for a little longer, as I returned to the couch, to you. We held there for a while, not really sure what would happen next.”
- “Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough.
- “‘There are things I miss,’ you said. ‘But if I didn’t have you, I’d miss more.’”
- “The key to a successful relationship isn’t just in the words, its in the choice of punctuation. When you’re in love with someone, a well-placed question mark can be the difference between bliss and disaster, and a deeply respected period or a cleverly inserted ellipsis can prevent all kinds of exclamation.”
- “I have already spent roughly five thousand hours asleep next to you. This has to mean something.”

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.

Happy birthday Elton
“there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see you.”
-charles bukowski; my favorite writer who has brought back out the writer in me. rip march 9, 1994.
