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

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

"The book thief has struck for the first time – the beginning of an illustrious career."

"Grimly, she realized that clocks don't make a sound that even remotely resembles ticking, tocking. It was more the sound of a hammer, upside down, hacking methodically at the earth. It was the sound of a grave."

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

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