Every Day - David Levithan

This book is really something. :) Although i did hope for a different ending. :| These are the lines that i liked. :D After a while, you have to be at peace with the fact that you simply are. There is no way to know why. You can have theories, but there will never be proof. We all contain mysteries, especially when seen from the inside. Beneath every peripheral girl is a central truth. A sound waiting to be a word. We all want everything to be okay. We don’t even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough. Simple and complicated, as most true things are. The Unwarranted Devotion. Putting up with the fear of being with the wrong person because you can’t deal with the fear of being alone. The hope tinged with doubt, and the doubt tinged with hope. She has been hanging on to the hope of him for so long that she doesn’t realize there isn’t anything left to hope for. People take love’s continuity for granted, just as they take their body’s continuity for granted. They don’t realize that the best thing about love is its regular presence. Once you can establish that, it’s an added foundation to your life. But if you cannot have that regular presence, you only have the one foundation to support you, always. The sound of words as they’re said is always different from the sound they make when they’re heard, because the speaker hears some of the sound from the inside. I am learning that a life isn’t real unless someone else knows its reality. Because what’s the point of something virtual if it doesn’t end up being real? This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it’s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is; this is how it will be. I don’t want to throw everything away for something uncertain. There are so many explanations I can leave unsaid. There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go. If you want to live within the definition of your own truth, you have to choose to go through the initially painful and ultimately comforting process of finding it. I wanted love to conquer all. But love can’t conquer anything. It can’t do anything on its own. It relies on us to do the conquering on its behalf. When first love ends, most people eventually know there will be more to come. They are not through with love. Love is not through with them. It will never be the same as the first, but it will be better in different ways.
