As we walk back, it feels like the city is engulfing us. Adrenalin still pours through our veins. Sparks flow through to our fingers. We've still been running in the mornings, but the city's different then. It's filled with hope and with bristles of winter sunshine. In the evening, it's like it dies, waiting to be born again the next morning.

Maybe one morning I’ll wake up and step outside of myself to look back at the old me lying dead among the sheets.

Image
I even move out onto the front porch and see my own limited view of the world. I want to take that world, and for the first time ever, I feel like I can do it. I’ve survived everything I’ve had to so far. I’m still standing here.

Liesel crossed the bridge over the Amper River. The water was glorious and emerald and rich. She could see the stones at the bottom and hear the familiar song of water. The world did not deserve such a river.

It's not the place, I think. It's the people. We'd have all been the same anywhere else.

...and the night is so deep and dark that I wonder if the sun will ever come up.

Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.

If her soul ever leaks, I want it to land on me.
Markus Zusak

My voice is like a rumour. I'm not sure if it came out or not, or if it is true.
Markus Zusak
Image
It brewed in her as she eyed the pages full to the brims of their bellies with paragraphs and words. You bastards, she thought. You lovely bastards. Don’t make me happy. Please, don’t fill me up and let me think that something good can come of any of this.

I feel the fear, but I walk fast toward it.

The bittersweetness of uncertainty: To win or to lose.
Markus Zusak
Image
It's insane to be a writer and not be a reader. When I'm writing I'm more likely to be reading four or five books at once, just in bits and pieces rather than subjecting myself to a really brilliant book and thinking, Well what's the point of me writing anything? I'm more likely to read a book through when I take a break from writing.

No matter how many times she was told that she was loved, there was no recognition that the proof was in the abandonment.

When death captures me, the boy vowed, he will feel my fist in his face. (31.26)

I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I ever simply estimate it.
Markus Zusak

I guess when someone tells you something they they usually guard, you feel privileged, not because you know something no-one else knows, but because you feel chosen. You feel like that person wants her life to intersect with yours. I think that's what felt best about it.
