More quotes by Markus Zusak
The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. They were the ones who could climb the highest. One such word shaker was a small, skinny girl. She was renowned as the best word shaker of her region because she knew how powerless a person could be WITHOUT words.
Markus Zusak
When death captures me, the boy vowed, he will feel my fist in his face. (31.26)
Markus Zusak
They'd been standing like that for thirty seconds of forever.
Markus Zusak
I had to decide what I was going to do, and what I was going to be. I was standing there, waiting for someone to do something , till I realised the person I was waiting for was myself.
Markus Zusak
I'm not one of these 'the characters write themselves the story just fell out of me' kind of writers. Wish it was like that.
Markus Zusak
Very suddenly. Yes, quite suddenly, I didn't feel like I could handle my feeling of aloneness.
Markus Zusak
She was one if the few souls that made me wonder what's it to live.
Markus Zusak
I love and hate this place because it is full of words.
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
Liesel shrugged away entirely from the crowd and entered the tide of Jews, weaving through them till she grabbed hold of his arm with her left hand. His face fell on her. It reached down as she tripped, and the Jew,the nasty Jew, helped her up. It took all of his strength.
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
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 bombs were coming-and so was I.
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
My voice is like a rumour. I'm not sure if it came out or not, or if it is true.
Markus Zusak
Five hundred souls. I carried them in my fingers, like suitcases. Or I'd throw them over my shoulder. It was only the the children I carried in my arms.
Markus Zusak
It was one of those moments of perfect tiredness, of having conquered not only the work at hand, but the night who had blocked the way.
Markus Zusak
They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible. He stands over your shoulder repeating one thin, incessantly: 'Get it done, get it done.' So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss, however, does not thank you. He asks for more.
Markus Zusak
I feel the fear, but I walk fast toward it.
Markus Zusak
It's my heart that is tired. A thirteen-year-old heart shouldn't feel like this.
