Markus Zusak
Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.
Markus Zusak
I want words at my funeral. But I guess that means you need life in your life.
Markus Zusak
A REASSURING ANNOUNCEMENT Please, be calm, despite that previous threat. I am all bluster - I am not violent. I am not malicious. I am a result.
Markus Zusak
It was one of those moments of perfect tiredness, of having conquered not only the work at hand, but the night who had blocked the way.
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
How about a kiss, Saumensch?
Markus Zusak

Markus Zusak
Yes, I'm often reminded of her, and in one of my array of pockets, I have kept her story to retell. It is one of the small legion I carry, each one extraordinary in its own right. Each one an attempt - an immense leap of an attempt - to prove to me that you, and your human existence, are worth it.
Markus Zusak
Have faith, Ed, all right?' I search the coffee mug, but there's none in there.
Markus Zusak
When she faced the noise, she found the mayor’s wife in a brand-new bathrobe and slippers. On the breast pocket of the robe sat an embroidered swastika. Propaganda even reached the bathroom.
Markus Zusak
Soon evening worked its way into the sky, and the city hunched itself down.
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.
Markus Zusak
I'm having bigger problems when I'm writing.
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
The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you.
