Markus Zusak
Tears were frozen to the book theif's face.
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
His soul sat up. It met me. Those kinds of souls always do - the best ones. The ones who rise up and say I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come. Those souls are always light because more of them have been put out. More of them have already found their way to other places.

I want to talk to him. I want to ask him about that girl and if he loved her and still misses her. Nothing, however, exits my mouth. How well do we really let ourselves know each other? There's a long quietness until I finally break it open. It reminds me of someone breaking bread and handing it out. In my case, I hand out a question to my friend.
Markus Zusak

Rosa Hubermann was sitting on the edge of the bed with her husband's accordion tied to her chest. Her fingers hovered above the keys. She did not move. She didn't ever appear to be breathing.
Markus Zusak
Sometimes you read a book so special that you want to carry it around with you for months after you've finished just to stay near it.
Markus Zusak
Two weeks to change the world, fourteen days to destroy it.
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
It's hard to not like a man who not only notices the colors, but speaks them
Markus Zusak
When death captures me, the boy vowed, he will feel my fist in his face. (31.26)
Markus Zusak
The scrawled words of practice stood magnificently on the wall by the stairs, jagged and childlike and sweet. They looked on as both the hidden Jew and the girl slept, hand to shoulder. They breathed. German and Jewish lungs.
Markus Zusak
