Image
Shadows of cloud lurked in the water, like holes the sun forgot about.
Markus Zusak
Image
You see, to me, for just a moment, despite all of the colors that touch and grapple with what I see in this world, I will often catch an eclipse when a human dies. I've seen millions of them. I've seen more eclipses than I care to remember
Markus Zusak
Image
Can a person steal happiness? Or is just another internal, infernal human trick?
Markus Zusak
Image
I try hard and aim big. People can hate or love my books but they can never accuse me of not trying.

Image
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.

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
Image

Markus Zusak
Image
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
Image
The injury of words. Yes, the brutality of words.
Markus Zusak
Image
I say, 'Don't lose your heart, Rube.' And very clearly, without moving, my brother answers me. He says, 'I'm not tryin' to lose it, Cam. I'm tryin' to find it.
Markus Zusak
Image
How about a kiss, Saumensch?
Markus Zusak
Image
The day was gray, the color of Europe.
Markus Zusak
Image
The bittersweetness of uncertainty: To win or to lose.
Markus Zusak
Image
... And the boy whose hair remained the color of lemons forever.
Markus Zusak
Image
It's funny, don't you think, how time seems to do a lot of things? It flies, it tells, and worst of all, it runs out.
Markus Zusak
Image
Why me?' I ask God. God says nothing. I laugh and the stars watch. It's good to be alive.
Markus Zusak
Image
...one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death.
Markus Zusak
Image
But neither of us knows, because a fight's worth nothing if you know from the start that you're going to win it.
