More quotes by Markus Zusak
They'd been standing like that for thirty seconds of forever.
Markus Zusak
There were not many people who could say that their education had been paid for with cigarettes.
Markus Zusak
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.
Markus Zusak
...and the night is so deep and dark that I wonder if the sun will ever come up.
Markus Zusak
There are so many moments to remember and sometimes I think that maybe we're not really people at all. Maybe moments are what we are.... Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more.
Markus Zusak
She was like a lone angel floating above the surface of the earth, laughing with delight because she could fly but crying out of loneliness.
Markus Zusak
She could smell the pages. She could almost taste the words as they stacked up around her.
Markus Zusak
There are moments when you can only stand and stare, watching the world forget you as you remove yourself from it - when you overcome it and cease to exist as the person you were.
Markus Zusak
The sky is blue today, Max, and there is a big long cloud, and it's stretched out, like a rope. At the end of it, the sun is like a yellow hole. . .

***A KEY WORD*** Imagined
Markus Zusak
His soul sat up. It met me. Those kinds of souls always do - the best ones. The ones who rise up and say I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come. Those souls are always light because more of them have been put out. More of them have already found their way to other places.
Markus Zusak
It's about glowing lights and small things that are big.
Markus Zusak
Of course you're real-like any thought or any story. It's real when you're in it.
Markus Zusak
The first couple of times, he simply stayed - a stranger to kill the aloneness. A few nights after that, he whispered “Shhh, I’m here, its alright.” After three weeks, he held her. Trust was accumulated quickly, due primarily to the brute strength of the man’s gentleness, his thereness.
Markus Zusak
A small fact: You are going to die....does this worry you?
Markus Zusak
Summer came. For the books thief, everything was going nicely. For me, the sky was the color of Jews.
Markus Zusak
When she faced the noise, she found the mayor’s wife in a brand-new bathrobe and slippers. On the breast pocket of the robe sat an embroidered swastika. Propaganda even reached the bathroom.
Markus Zusak
I'd been in love with her for years. I never left this suburban town. I didn't go to university. I went to Audrey.
Markus Zusak
I am hunted by humans.
Markus Zusak
I look at her wish we could go inside and make love on the couch. Dive inside each other. Take each other. Make each other. Nothing happens, though.
