More quotes by Markus Zusak
Trust was accumulated quickly, due primarily to the brute strength of the man's gentleness, his thereness. (p.36)
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 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.

I want to talk to him. I want to ask him about that girl and if he loved her and still misses her. Nothing, however, exits my mouth. How well do we really let ourselves know each other?

Markus Zusak
The conversation of bullets.

A fighter can be a winner, but that doesn't make a winner a fighter.
Markus Zusak
The impoverished always try to keep moving, as if relocating might help. They ignore the reality that a new version of the same old problem will be waiting at the end of the trip- the relative you cringe to kiss.
Markus Zusak
Even death has a heart.
Markus Zusak
It's about glowing lights and small things that are big.
Markus Zusak
Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.
Markus Zusak
The nightmares arrived like they always did, much like the best player in the opposition when you've heard rumors that he might be injured or sick-but there he is, warming up with the rest of them, ready to take the field.
Markus Zusak
You don't shoot a dog when it is already dead.
Markus Zusak
I had to decide what I was going to do, and what I was going to be. I was standing there, waiting for someone to do something , till I realised the person I was waiting for was myself.
Markus Zusak
We expressed love for this dog by ... knowing without showing that we cared for him.
Markus Zusak
When I was a teenager I decided I was going to be a writer and that nothing was going to stop me. It sounds almost villainous. But I knew that was what I wanted.
Markus Zusak
But for now, happiness throws stones. It guards itself. I wait.
