More quotes by Markus Zusak
Competence was attractive.
Markus Zusak
Or had she always loved him? It's likely. Restricted as she was from speaking, she wanted him to kiss her. She wanted him to drag her hand across and pull her over. It didn't matter where. Her mouth, her neck, her cheek. Her skin was empty for it, waiting.
Markus Zusak
There are so many moments to remember and sometimes I think that maybe we're not really people at all. Maybe moments are what we are.... Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more.
Markus Zusak
The happening that happened was that I met this girl.
Markus Zusak
... And the boy whose hair remained the color of lemons forever.
Markus Zusak
She didn't dare to look up, but she could feel their frightened eyes hanging onto her as she hauled the words in and breathed them out. A voice played the notes inside her. This, it said, is your accordion.

Grimly, she realized that clocks don't make a sound that even remotely resembles ticking, tocking. It was more the sound of a hammer, upside down, hacking methodically at the earth. It was the sound of a grave.
Markus Zusak
I try hard and aim big. People can hate or love my books but they can never accuse me of not trying.
Markus Zusak
They'd been standing like that for thirty seconds of forever.
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
I s'pose, I can't have it all my own way, can I? You can't drown in a person unless they let you.
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
All my friends seem to be smart arses. Don't ask me why. Like many things, it is what it is.
Markus Zusak
It was the beginning of the greatest Christmas ever. Little food. No presents. But there was a snowman in their basement.
Markus Zusak
The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you.
Markus Zusak
...and the night is so deep and dark that I wonder if the sun will ever come up.
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
Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.
Markus Zusak
Even enemies were an inch away from friendship.
Markus Zusak
Make sure you live,' she said. 'As decent as you can. I know you'll make mistakes, but sometimes you're meant to, okay?
Markus Zusak
