David Levithan

Thinking, Silence, Compatible

David Levithan (2009). “Boy Meets Boy”, p.37, Knopf Books for Young Readers

The world is quieter now. It is never quiet, but it can get quieter. What strange creatures we are, to find silence peaceful, when permanent silence is the thing we most dread. Nighttime is not that. Nighttime still rustles, still creaks and whispers and trembles in its throat. It is not darkness we fear, but our own helplessness within it. How merciful to have been granted the other senses.

David Levithan

Silence, Peaceful, Darkness
