No, Tiny. Words. Passion. The danger of falling in love is you mistakenly believe the loved one is the only source of passion in your life. But there is passion everywhere. In music. In words. In the stories you tell and the stories you see. Find passion everywhere, and share it widely. Don't narrow it down to one thin line. David Levithan
About This Quote

When your friend, Tiny, said to you, "No, Tiny. Words. Passion. The danger of falling in love is you mistakenly believe the loved one is the only source of passion in your life.

But there is passion everywhere. In music. In words.

In the stories you tell and the stories you see. Find passion everywhere, and share it widely."  you were left wondering whether he wanted you to stay in love or leave love forever. To clarify, he was saying that if you are in love with someone it would be wise to learn to live without them because there are many other things that can provide you with passion.

He was also saying that your obsession with the person you are in love is what can make you fall in love but he also said that there are many other things that give you passion in life which means that if your interest in someone is taken away from them then they would also end up losing their passion for life since they would have nothing better to do than wander aimlessly through life doing nothing productive and therefore it would be best to stay out of love and remain happy and healthy and sane by staying away from them forever.
