Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.
Markus Zusak
You see, to me, for just a moment, despite all of the colors that touch and grapple with what I see in this world, I will often catch an eclipse when a human dies. I've seen millions of them. I've seen more eclipses than I care to remember
Markus Zusak
How does it feel, anyway? How does what feel? When you take one of those books? At that moment, she chose to keep still. If he wants an answer, he'd have to come back, and he did. Well? he asked, but again, it was the boy who replied, before Liesel could even open her mouth. It feels good, doesn't it? To steal something back.
Markus Zusak
The happening that happened was that I met this girl.
