There were not many people who could say that their education had been paid for with cigarettes.
Markus Zusak
You should give it to Max, Liesel. See if you can leave it on the bedside table, like all the other things. Liesel watched him as if he'd gone insane. How, though? Lightly, he tapped her skull with his knuckles. Memorize it. Then write it down for him.

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
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
Even death has a heart.
Markus Zusak
Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.
Markus Zusak
I think 'The Lord Of The Rings' is the mother of all cult books, because you can be in that cult and not even know you're in it.
Markus Zusak
He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It’s his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.
Markus Zusak
Often I wish this would all be over, Liesel, but then somehow you do something like walk down the basement steps with a snowman in your hands.

THE LAST WORDS OF MAX VANDENBURG: You've done enough.
Markus Zusak
I had many boxing matches with my brother in the backyard when we were younger, and I guess while other people abhor boxing for its brutality, I also have to admire anyone who climbs into the ring to face up to what could be the ultimate defeat.
Markus Zusak
I want words at my funeral. But I guess that means you need life in your life.
