As we walk back, it feels like the city is engulfing us. Adrenalin still pours through our veins. Sparks flow through to our fingers.

In the evening, it's like it dies, waiting to be born again the next morning.

Markus Zusak
It is early, early morning. It's that time when it's still dark but you know the day is coming. Blue is bleeding through black. Stars are dying.
Markus Zusak
I guess that’s the beauty of books. When they finish they don’t really finish.
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
No matter how many times she was told that she was loved, there was no recognition that the proof was in the abandonment.
Markus Zusak
We're silent now, both waiting, till I remind myself that I'm the older one and should therefore initiate conversation. But I don't. I don't want to waste this girl with idle chitchat. She's beautiful.
Markus Zusak
If her soul ever leaks, I want it to land on me.
Markus Zusak
I watch the beauty for as long as I can, then turn and face the rest of it.
Markus Zusak
