More quotes by Markus Zusak
You can do anything when it's not real.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
Competence was attractive.
Markus Zusak
When I was growing up, I wanted to be a house painter like my father, but I was always screwing up when I went to work with him. I had a talent for knocking over paint and painting myself into corners. I also realized fairly quickly that painting bored me.
Markus Zusak
I look at her wish we could go inside and make love on the couch. Dive inside each other. Take each other. Make each other. Nothing happens, though.
Markus Zusak
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
You cannot be afraid, Read the book. Smile at it. It's a great book-the greatest book you've ever read.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak

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
It's my heart that is tired. A thirteen-year-old heart shouldn't feel like this.
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
I realize that nothing belongs to her anymore and she belongs to everything.
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.
Markus Zusak
I think she ate a salad and some soup. And loneliness. She ate that, too.
Markus Zusak
It's about glowing lights and small things that are big.
Markus Zusak
I'm not one of these 'the characters write themselves the story just fell out of me' kind of writers. Wish it was like that.
Markus Zusak
An eleven-year-old girl is many things, but she is not stupid.
Markus Zusak
Everything was good. But it was awful, too.
Markus Zusak
If only she could be so oblivious again, to feel such love without knowing it, mistaking it for laughter.
