Yes, I'm often reminded of her, and in one of my array of pockets, I have kept her story to retell. It is one of the small legion I carry, each one extraordinary in its own right. Each one an attempt - an immense leap of an attempt - to prove to me that you, and your human existence, are worth it.
Markus Zusak
Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
Even enemies were an inch away from friendship.
Markus Zusak
The conversation of bullets.

When I was a teenager I decided I was going to be a writer and that nothing was going to stop me. It sounds almost villainous. But I knew that was what I wanted.
Markus Zusak
There was once a strange, small man. He decided three important details about his life: 1. He would part his hair from the opposite side to everyone else. 2. He would make himself a small, strange mustache. 3. He would one day rule the world. ...Yes, the Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words.
Markus Zusak
It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on, coughing and searching, and finding.
Markus Zusak
Shadows of cloud lurked in the water, like holes the sun forgot about.
Markus Zusak
I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I ever simply estimate it.
Markus Zusak
But then, is there cowardice in the acknowledgment of fear? Is there cowardice in being glad that you lived?
