More quotes by Markus Zusak
I'm having bigger problems when I'm writing.
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.

The nightmares arrived like they always did, much like the best player in the opposition when you've heard rumors that he might be injured or sick-but there he is, warming up with the rest of them, ready to take the field.

As we walk back, it feels like the city is engulfing us. Adrenalin still pours through our veins. Sparks flow through to our fingers. We've still been running in the mornings, but the city's different then. It's filled with hope and with bristles of winter sunshine. In the evening, it's like it dies, waiting to be born again the next morning.
Markus Zusak
I watch the beauty for as long as I can, then turn and face the rest of it.
Markus Zusak
When death captures me, the boy vowed, he will feel my fist in his face. (31.26)
Markus Zusak
The orange flames waved at the crowd as paper and print dissolved inside them. Burning words were torn from their sentences.
Markus Zusak
Grimly, she realized that clocks don't make a sound that even remotely resembles ticking, tocking. It was more the sound of a hammer, upside down, hacking methodically at the earth. It was the sound of a grave.
Markus Zusak
When a person's last response was Saumensch or Saukerl or Arschloch, you knew you had them beaten.
Markus Zusak
Soon evening worked its way into the sky, and the city hunched itself down.
Markus Zusak
My own eyes try to sleep, but they don't. They stay wide awake as time snarls forward and silence drops down, like measured thought.
Markus Zusak
Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.
Markus Zusak
Rosa Hubermann was sitting on the edge of the bed with her husband's accordion tied to her chest. Her fingers hovered above the keys. She did not move. She didn't ever appear to be breathing.
Markus Zusak
It was a Monday and they walked on a tightrope to the sun.
Markus Zusak
We expressed love for this dog by ... knowing without showing that we cared for him.
Markus Zusak
The bombs were coming-and so was I.
