    “Hair the color of lemons,'" Rudy read. His fingers touched the words. "You told him about me?"

    At first, Liesel could not talk. Perhaps it was the sudden bumpiness of love she felt for him. Or had she always loved him? It's likely. Restricted as she was from speaking, she wanted him to kiss her. She wanted him to drag her hand across and pull her over. It didn't matter where. Her mouth, her neck, her cheek. Her skin was empty for it, waiting.

    Years ago, when they'd raced on a muddy field, Rudy was a hastily assembled set of bones, with a jagged, rocky smile. In the trees this afternoon, he was a giver of bread and teddy bears. He was a triple Hitler Youth athletics champion. He was her best friend. And he was a month from his death.

    Of course I told him about you," Liesel said.”
    Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

    “The tears grappled with her face.
    Rudy, please, wake up, Goddamn it, wale up, I love you. Come on, Rudy, come on, Jesse Owens, don't you know I love you, wake up, wake up, wake up.."
    But nothing cared...

    She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Liesel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner, soft and true on his lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled hersel away, she touched his mouth with her fingers. Her hands were tremblin, her lips were fleshy, and she leaned in once more, this time losing control and misjudging it. Their teeth collided on the demolised world of Himmel Street.”
    Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

    Lauren  Roberts
    “I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important.
    Not until I looked into a pair of ocean blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing.
    Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing.
    Not until I looked into a pair of sky blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing.
    I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn't seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is.
    "Blue," I say, my voice low.”
    Lauren Roberts, Powerless
