More quotes by Markus Zusak
Around us I can sniff out a savagery in the noisy southern air. It knifes it's way into my nose, but I do not bleed blood. It's fear I bleed, and it gushes out over my lip. I wipe it away, in a hurry.
Markus Zusak
You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out. Find yourself a mirror while I continue.
Markus Zusak
I feel the fear, but I walk fast toward it.
Markus Zusak
I'm having bigger problems when I'm writing.
Markus Zusak
The impoverished always try to keep moving, as if relocating might help. They ignore the reality that a new version of the same old problem will be waiting at the end of the trip- the relative you cringe to kiss.
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 am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I ever simply estimate it.
Markus Zusak
Personally, I like a chocolate-colored sky, dark, dark chocolate.
Markus Zusak
Have faith, Ed, all right?' I search the coffee mug, but there's none in there.
Markus Zusak
Because you don't learn anything unless you can find the patience to read. TV takes that away from you. It robs you from your mind.
Markus Zusak
Very suddenly. Yes, quite suddenly, I didn't feel like I could handle my feeling of aloneness.
Markus Zusak
July 24, 6:03 A.M. The laundry was warm and the rafters were firm, and Michael Holzapfel jumped from the chair as if it were a cliff... Michael Holzapfel knew what he was doing. He killed himself for wanting to live.
Markus Zusak
Yes, I know it. In the darkness of my dark beating heart, I know. He'd have loved it alright. You see? Even Death Has A Heart.
Markus Zusak
You might argue that I make the rounds no matter what year it is, but sometimes the human race likes to crank things up a little. They increase the production of bodies and their escaping souls.
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 guess when someone tells you something they they usually guard, you feel privileged, not because you know something no-one else knows, but because you feel chosen. You feel like that person wants her life to intersect with yours. I think that's what felt best about it.
Markus Zusak
You can do all manner of underhanded nice things when you have a caustic reputation.
Markus Zusak
Everything was good. But it was awful, too.
Markus Zusak
Of course you're real-like any thought or any story. It's real when you're in it.
Markus Zusak
As we walk back, it feels like the city is engulfing us. Adrenalin still pours through our veins. Sparks flow through to our fingers. We've still been running in the mornings, but the city's different then. It's filled with hope and with bristles of winter sunshine. In the evening, it's like it dies, waiting to be born again the next morning.
