Markus Zusak
He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world. She was the book thief without the words. Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain.
Markus Zusak
He prefers not to ruin things with any more questions. What it is is what it is.
Markus Zusak
...one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death.
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
***A KEY WORD*** Imagined
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
Even death has a heart.
