Markus Zusak
The injury of words. Yes, the brutality of words.
Markus Zusak
... And the boy whose hair remained the color of lemons forever.
Markus Zusak
Sometimes I think my papa is an accordion. When he looks at me and smiles and breathes, I hear the notes.
Markus Zusak
Yes, the sky was now a devastating, home-cooked red. The small German town had been flung apart one more time. Snowflakes of ash fell so lovelily you were tempted to stretch out your tongue to catch them, taste them. Only, they would have scorched your lips. They would have cooked your mouth.
Markus Zusak
He prefers not to ruin things with any more questions. What it is is what it is.
