More quotes by Markus Zusak
I feel the fear, but I walk fast toward it.
Markus Zusak
Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.
Markus Zusak
He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world. She was the book thief without the words. Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain.
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 LAST WORDS OF MAX VANDENBURG: You've done enough.
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
It's insane to be a writer and not be a reader. When I'm writing I'm more likely to be reading four or five books at once, just in bits and pieces rather than subjecting myself to a really brilliant book and thinking, Well what's the point of me writing anything? I'm more likely to read a book through when I take a break from writing.
Markus Zusak
Shadows of cloud lurked in the water, like holes the sun forgot about.
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
I try hard and aim big. People can hate or love my books but they can never accuse me of not trying.
Markus Zusak
Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of.
Markus Zusak
You’re a human, you should understand self-obsession.
Markus Zusak
She didn't dare to look up, but she could feel their frightened eyes hanging onto her as she hauled the words in and breathed them out. A voice played the notes inside her. This, it said, is your accordion.
Markus Zusak
It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on, coughing and searching, and finding.
Markus Zusak
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.
Markus Zusak
As she watched all of this, Liesel was certain that these were the poorest souls alive. That's what she wrote about them . . . Some looked appealingly at those who had come to observe their humiliation, this prelude to their deaths. Others pleaded for someone, anyone to step forward and catch them in their arms. No one did.
Markus Zusak
Each night, Liesel would step outside, wipe the door, and watch the sky. Usually it was like spillage - cold and heavy, slippery and gray - but once in a while some stars had the nerve to rise and float, if only for a few minutes. On those nights, she would stay a little longer and wait. Hello, stars.
Markus Zusak
I s'pose, I can't have it all my own way, can I? You can't drown in a person unless they let you.
Markus Zusak
I'd been in love with her for years. I never left this suburban town. I didn't go to university. I went to Audrey.
Markus Zusak
If you ever write a book, I can only give you one piece of advice. Don't let your parents get involved.
