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
I watch the beauty for as long as I can, then turn and face the rest of it.
Markus Zusak
We expressed love for this dog by ... knowing without showing that we cared for him.
Markus Zusak
