More quotes by 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.
Markus Zusak
I'd been in love with her for years. I never left this suburban town. I didn't go to university. I went to Audrey.
Markus Zusak
My voice is like a rumour. I'm not sure if it came out or not, or if it is true.
Markus Zusak
It's my heart that is tired. A thirteen-year-old heart shouldn't feel like this.
Markus Zusak
... And the boy whose hair remained the color of lemons forever.
Markus Zusak
You cannot be afraid, Read the book. Smile at it. It's a great book-the greatest book you've ever read.
Markus Zusak
I'm having bigger problems when I'm writing.
Markus Zusak
He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world. She was the book thief without the words. Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain.
Markus Zusak
No matter how many times she was told that she was loved, there was no recognition that the proof was in the abandonment.
Markus Zusak
The bombs were coming-and so was I.
Markus Zusak
Two weeks to change the world, fourteen days to destroy it.
Markus Zusak
If you ever write a book, I can only give you one piece of advice. Don't let your parents get involved.
Markus Zusak
She looks at the swings, and I can see she’s imagining what they’d look like if the kids weren’t there. The guilt of this holds her down momentarily. It appears to be there constantly. Never far away, despite her love for them. I realize that nothing belongs to her anymore and she belongs to everything.
Markus Zusak
You don't shoot a dog when it is already dead.
Markus Zusak
I'm not a writer who refuses to talk about a book until I've finished.
Markus Zusak
Yes, I know it. In the darkness of my dark beating heart, I know. He'd have loved it alright. You see? Even Death Has A Heart.
Markus Zusak
Everything was good. But it was awful, too.
Markus Zusak
It's insane to be a writer and not be a reader. When I'm writing I'm more likely to be reading four or five books at once, just in bits and pieces rather than subjecting myself to a really brilliant book and thinking, Well what's the point of me writing anything? I'm more likely to read a book through when I take a break from writing.
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
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.
