Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
It was a Monday and they walked on a tightrope to the sun.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
It was the beginning of the greatest Christmas ever. Little food. No presents. But there was a snowman in their basement.
Markus Zusak
When a person's last response was Saumensch or Saukerl or Arschloch, you knew you had them beaten.
Markus Zusak
An eleven-year-old girl is many things, but she is not stupid.
Markus Zusak
And then there's the sickness I feel from looking at legs I can't touch, or at lips that don't smile at me. Or hips that don't reach for me. And hearts that don't beat for me.
Markus Zusak
I don't really know that this story has a whole lot of things happen in it. It doesn't really. It's just a record of how things were in my life during this last winter. I guess things happened, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Markus Zusak
