You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out. Find yourself a mirror while I continue.
Markus Zusak
The sky is blue today, Max, and there is a big long cloud, and it's stretched out, like a rope. At the end of it, the sun is like a yellow hole. . .

… it was raining on Himmel Street when the world ended for Liesel Meminger. The sky was dripping. Like a tap that a child has tried its hardest to turn off but hasn’t quite managed.
Markus Zusak
As she watched all of this, Liesel was certain that these were the poorest souls alive. That's what she wrote about them . . . Some looked appealingly at those who had come to observe their humiliation, this prelude to their deaths. Others pleaded for someone, anyone to step forward and catch them in their arms. No one did.
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
Have faith, Ed, all right?' I search the coffee mug, but there's none in there.
Markus Zusak
It was a Monday and they walked on a tightrope to the sun.
Markus Zusak
I like to tell students, 'I didn't burst on to the literary scene.' I'm never good at things at the beginning. I was terrible at the start. I need to work and work.
Markus Zusak
It's not the place, I think. It's the people. We'd have all been the same anywhere else.
Markus Zusak
I love and hate this place because it is full of words.
