Even death has a heart. - Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

"I want words at my funeral. But I guess that means you need life in your life."

"I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I even simply estimate it. 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...I AM HAUNTED BY HUMANS."

"As always, one of her books was next to her."

"The point is, it didn’t really matter what the book was about. It was what it meant that was important."

"A small but noteworthy note. I've seen so many young men over the years who think they're running at other young men. They are not. They are running at me."
