More quotes by Markus Zusak
There are moments when you can only stand and stare, watching the world forget you as you remove yourself from it - when you overcome it and cease to exist as the person you were.
Markus Zusak
The beauty of my work is that my sets cost nothing. That's what I love about being a writer of novels.
Markus Zusak
A happening was looming. It was out there somewhere beyond the regular enclosed life that I had been living. It was out there, not waiting, but existing. Being. Perhaps it was only slightly wondering if I would come to it.
Markus Zusak
I have to say that although it broke my heart, I was, and still am, glad I was there.

Markus Zusak
They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible. He stands over your shoulder repeating one thin, incessantly: 'Get it done, get it done.' So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss, however, does not thank you. He asks for more.
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
To me the question is always this: if a ray of light came out of the sky and said, Your next book will never be published - would you still write it? If the answer is yes, the book is worth writing.
Markus Zusak
Can a person steal happiness? Or is just another internal, infernal human trick?
Markus Zusak
Two weeks to change the world, fourteen days to destroy it.
Markus Zusak
She was one if the few souls that made me wonder what's it to live.
