His eyes were cold and brown - like coffee stains.

Do we spend most of our days ...

Do we spend most of our days trying to remember or to forget? Do we spend most of our time running towards or away from our lives?

A fighter can be a winner, but that doesn't make a winner a fighter.

The consequence of this is that I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

It's not a big thing, but I guess it's true--big things are often just small things that are noticed.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

They'd been standing like that for thirty seconds of forever.

My arms are killing me. I didn't know words could be so heavy.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

But then, is there cowardice ...

But then, is there cowardice in the acknowledgment of fear? Is there cowardice in being glad that you lived?

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I like to tell students, 'I d...

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.

I'm not a writer who refuses to talk about a book until I've finished.

In the case of 'The Book Thief,' my research was hearing the stories of my parents when I was a child. But I started changing the stories when I began moulding the book.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I procrastinate in spades. In...

I procrastinate in spades. In my defence, I also try to have all other distractions solved before I can concentrate on writing. My small theory is that to write for three hours, you need to feel like you have three days. To write for three days, you need to feel like you've got three weeks, and so on.

The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

When I was growing up, I want...

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a house painter like my father, but I was always screwing up when I went to work with him. I had a talent for knocking over paint and painting myself into corners. I also realized fairly quickly that painting bored me.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I've just always loved books,...

I've just always loved books, and I love the idea that we're all just really made of stories. I do also like the idea that anyone can love books. Books don't care how educated you are or what you do for a living.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

Living in Sydney, I've taken ...

Living in Sydney, I've taken the chance to start surfing again. One of my best memories of growing up is catching my first proper wave and surfing across it and my brother cheering at me from the shore.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I was lucky: I feel like I've...

I was lucky: I feel like I've written four books that mean something to me, and one book that means everything to me, and that's 'The Book Thief.'

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I find writing extremely difficult. I usually have to drag myself to my desk, mainly because I doubt myself. And it's getting harder because I want to improve with every book.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I think I'm always somehow in...

I think I'm always somehow interested in characters who want to make one perfect thing, to transcend humanness, even if only for a moment.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

For 'The Book Thief,' I wanted only one outcome, and that was for the director to follow his own vision, just as I had.
