***HERE IS A SMALL FACT*** You are going to die. - Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

"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."

"Can a person steal happiness? Or is just another internal, infernal human trick?"

"It kills me sometimes, how people die."

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

"Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced."
