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

"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."

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

"Usually we walk around constantly believing ourselves. "I'm okay"we say. "I'm alright". But sometimes the truth arrives on you and you can't get it off. That's when you realize that sometimes it isn't even an answer--it's a question. Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced."

"for some reason, dying men always ask the question they know the answer to. perhaps it's so they can die being right."

"Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die."
