Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
The bittersweetness of uncertainty: To win or to lose.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
Around us I can sniff out a savagery in the noisy southern air. It knifes it's way into my nose, but I do not bleed blood. It's fear I bleed, and it gushes out over my lip. I wipe it away, in a hurry.
Markus Zusak
There was once a strange, small man. He decided three important details about his life: 1. He would part his hair from the opposite side to everyone else. 2. He would make himself a small, strange mustache. 3. He would one day rule the world. ...Yes, the Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words.
Markus Zusak
A small fact: You are going to die....does this worry you?
Markus Zusak
Fear is shiny. Ruthless in the eyes.
