Fear is shiny. Ruthless in the eyes.
Markus Zusak
I don't really know that this story has a whole lot of things happen in it. It doesn't really. It's just a record of how things were in my life during this last winter. I guess things happened, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Markus Zusak
She wanted none of those days to end, and it was always with disappointment that she watched the darkness stride forward.
Markus Zusak
An eleven-year-old girl is many things, but she is not stupid.
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
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.

The night is alive with stars, and when I lie down and look up, I get lost up there. I feel like I’m falling, but upward, into the abyss of sky above me.
Markus Zusak

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
How do you tell if something's alive? You check for breathing.
Markus Zusak
But then, is there cowardice in the acknowledgment of fear? Is there cowardice in being glad that you lived?
Markus Zusak
Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.
Markus Zusak
She was a girl with a mountain to climb.
Markus Zusak
Could she smell my breath? Could she hear my cursed circular heart beat revolving like the crime it is in my deathly chest?
Markus Zusak
Even enemies were an inch away from friendship.
Markus Zusak
Liesel shrugged away entirely from the crowd and entered the tide of Jews, weaving through them till she grabbed hold of his arm with her left hand. His face fell on her. It reached down as she tripped, and the Jew,the nasty Jew, helped her up. It took all of his strength.
Markus Zusak
When she faced the noise, she found the mayor’s wife in a brand-new bathrobe and slippers. On the breast pocket of the robe sat an embroidered swastika. Propaganda even reached the bathroom.
Markus Zusak
It's a lot easier, she realized, to be on the verge of something than to actually be it. This would still take time.
Markus Zusak
I think to be writer you have to enjoy being alone. I was a loner as a teenager and was always drawn to characters in books and films who were at the fringes.
Markus Zusak
He watched them grow, until eventually, great forests of words had risen throughout Germany.... It was a nation of farmed thoughts.
