Markus Zusak
My own eyes try to sleep, but they don't. They stay wide awake as time snarls forward and silence drops down, like measured thought.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
I'm asking you, I'm begging you, could you please shut your mouth for just five minutes? You can imagine the reaction. They ended up in the basement.

Shadows of cloud lurked in the water, like holes the sun forgot about.
Markus Zusak
For a moment, I panic. It's that feeling of falling when you know without question, that you've lost control of your car, or made a mistake that's beyond repair. 'What do I do now?' I ask desperately. 'Tell me! What do I do now?' He remains calm. He looks at me closely and says, 'Keep living, Ed... It's only the pages that stop here.

The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you.
Markus Zusak
The happening that happened was that I met this girl.
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
If her soul ever leaks, I want it to land on me.
