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
***A KEY WORD*** Imagined
Markus Zusak
It's a lot easier, she realized, to be on the verge of something than to actually be it. This would still take time.
Markus Zusak
It's hard to not like a man who not only notices the colors, but speaks them
Markus Zusak

I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.
Markus Zusak
Trust was accumulated quickly, due primarily to the brute strength of the man's gentleness, his thereness. (p.36)
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
He prefers not to ruin things with any more questions. What it is is what it is.
Markus Zusak
Why me?' I ask God. God says nothing. I laugh and the stars watch. It's good to be alive.
Markus Zusak
I like to tell students, 'I didn't burst on to the literary scene.' I'm never good at things at the beginning. I was terrible at the start. I need to work and work.
Markus Zusak
I look at her wish we could go inside and make love on the couch. Dive inside each other. Take each other. Make each other. Nothing happens, though.
Markus Zusak
I guess when someone tells you something they they usually guard, you feel privileged, not because you know something no-one else knows, but because you feel chosen. You feel like that person wants her life to intersect with yours. I think that's what felt best about it.
Markus Zusak
The bombs were coming-and so was I.
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 . . .

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
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
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.
