It's not the place, I think. It's the people. We'd have all been the same anywhere else.
Markus Zusak
I certainly wasn't born with creative writing. Maybe there's a certain amount of learning and then it's up to the person. I think in the end it's your favourite books that are the best teachers. That's the way I've learned the most, by far.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
As a child in Sydney, my German Mum and my Austrian Dad would spontaneously tell me stories about what they saw and what they did as children. It was like a piece of Europe coming into our house... Those stories led me to my writing.
Markus Zusak
I want words at my funeral. But I guess that means you need life in your life.
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
Because you don't learn anything unless you can find the patience to read. TV takes that away from you. It robs you from your mind.
Markus Zusak
He prefers not to ruin things with any more questions. What it is is what it is.
Markus Zusak
Two weeks to change the world, fourteen days to destroy it.
Markus Zusak
The flyscreen door slammed behind me. My feet dragged. I reached each arm into the jacket. Warm sleeves. Crumpled collar. Hands in pockets. Okay. I walked.
Markus Zusak
Liesel observed the strangeness of her foster father's eyes. They were made of kindness, and silver.
Markus Zusak
The last time I saw her was red. The sky was like soup, boiling and stirring. In some places, it was burned. There were black crumbs, and pepper, streaked across the redness.
Markus Zusak
Even death has a heart.
Markus Zusak
Very suddenly. Yes, quite suddenly, I didn't feel like I could handle my feeling of aloneness.
