An eleven-year-old girl is many things, but she is not stupid.

It's not the place, I think. It's the people. We'd have all been the same anywhere else.

Rudy handed it back. 'Speakin...

Rudy handed it back. 'Speaking of which, I think we're both slightly in for it when we get home. You especially.' 'Why me?' 'You know- your mama.' 'What about her?' Liesel was exercising the blatant right of every person who's ever belonged to a family. It's all very well for such a person to whine and moan and criticize other family members, but they won't let anyone else do it. That's when you get your back up and show loyalty.

You'll have days of complete l...

You'll have days of complete lack of faith in your abilities. But you have to keep coming back. That's when you know you're a writer - when you take the failures and appear at the desk again, over and over again.

I just want to write someone's...

I just want to write someone's favorite book

Personally, I like a chocolate...

Personally, I like a chocolate-covered sky. Dark, dark chocolate. People say it suits me. I do, however, try to enjoy every color I see - the whole spectrum. A billion or so flavors, none of them quite the same, and a sky to slowly suck on. It takes the edge off the stress. It helps me relax.

When a person's last response ...

When a person's last response was Saumensch or Saukerl or Arschloch, you knew you had them beaten.

Ed?' Ritchie says later. We're still standing in the water. 'There's only one thing I want.' 'What's that, Ritchie?' His answer is simple. 'To want.

The city buildings in the distance are holding up the sky, it seems.

She let herself love me for three minutes. Can three minutes last forever? I ask myself, but already know the answer. Probably not, I reply. But maybe they last long enough.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

Why me?' I ask God. God says n...

Why me?' I ask God. God says nothing. I laugh and the stars watch. It's good to be alive.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

Have faith, Ed, all right?' I ...

Have faith, Ed, all right?' I search the coffee mug, but there's none in there.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I look at her wish we could go...

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 397 quotes

Disbelief held me down inside ...

Disbelief held me down inside my footsteps, making my body heavy but my heart wild.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

Don't be afraid to fail. I fai...

Don't be afraid to fail. I fail every day. I failed thousands of times writing The Book Thief, and that book now means everything to me. I had many doubts and fears about that book, but some of what I feel are the best ideas in it came to me when I was working away for apparently no result.

Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I even move out onto the front...

I even move out onto the front porch and see my own limited view of the world. I want to take that world, and for the first time ever, I feel like I can do it. I've survived everything I've had to so far. I'm still standing here.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

Something I'd like to be perfe...

Something I'd like to be perfect at? ... Loving you,' I said. The words climbed from my mouth. 'I'd want to be perfect at loving you.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

It's about glowing lights and small things that are big.

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

Make sure you live,' she said....

Make sure you live,' she said. 'As decent as you can. I know you'll make mistakes, but sometimes you're meant to, okay?

Markus Zusak 397 quotes

I guess when someone tells you...

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.
