IN THE DICTIONARY
Not leaving: an act of trust and love,
often deciphered by children”

“He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It’s his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Leisel 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 herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers...She did not say goodbye. She was incapable, and after a few more minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground. It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on...”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“If only she could be so oblivious again, to feel such love without knowing it, mistaking it for laughter. ”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“I carried [Rudy] softly through the broken street...with him I tried a little harder [at comforting]. I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water, chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next-door neighbor. He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“How about a kiss, Saumensch?"

He stood waist-deep in the water for a few moments longer before climbing out and handing her the book. His pants clung to him, and he did not stop walking. In truth, I think he was afraid. Rudy Steiner was scared of the book thief's kiss. He must have longed for it so much. He must have loved her so incredibly hard. So hard that he would never ask for her lips again and would go to his grave without them.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“You can't eat books, sweetheart.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“I guess humans like to watch a little destruction. Sand castles, houses of cards, that's where they begin. Their great skills is their capacity to escalate.”
― 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.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“On many counts, taking a boy like Rudy Steiner was robbery--so much life, so much to live for--yet somehow, I'm certain he would have loved to see the frightening rubble and the swelling of the sky on the night he passed away. He'd have cried and turned and smiled if only he could have seen the book thief on her hands and knees, next to his decimated body. He'd have been glad to witness her kissing his dusty, bomb-hit lips.
Yes, I know it.
In the darkness of my dark-beating heart, I know. He'd have loved it all right.
You see?
Even death has a heart.”
― Markus Zusak (The Book Thief), The Book Thief

“Да се чувстваш нужен. Въпреки всичко. Да бързаш занякъде, да носиш нещо, да вярваш, че те чакат, че без тебе не могат, че се взират в далечината идеш ли.
Да изненадаш света с някакво откритие. Но аз нищо не носех освен едно опетнено име.
Никой не ме чакаше, никой не гледаше жадно към пътя, да се задам, не броеше минутите.
Скоростта, с която летях, се превърна в сух, безплоден вятър.
Скорост, скорост към нищото,опустошителна като суховей.
Целият ти досегашен живот пробягва мълнийно пред очите ти.
Искаш да се вкопчиш в нещо, да се задържиш на ръба на пропастта.
Не е възможно да бъдеш излишен на тоя свят.
И последният човек е нужен някъде, някому, за нещо.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Пътуване към себе си

“ А нима белезите на мъжественост са външни? Боксьорски мускули, биков врат, ягуарски бас - нямат нищо общо с моята представа за истински мъж. В характера, там е притегателната мъжка сила. Мъж – това за мене значи воля да се владее. На мъж, който се е самообуздал, принадлежи целият свят! ”

“Ако ти си станал необходим на другия, ако си станал неотменима част от въздуха край него, от мислите му, никой не може да те изскубне от живота му... Никоя, и най-красивата съперница не е в състояние да ми го отнеме. Ако аз съм успяла да стана негово минало, настояще и бъдеще, той е мой... Всяка нова жена е опасна дотолкова, доколкото аз съм слаба и изплашена.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Пътуване към себе си

“Вечер угасне електричеството.Обгърне ме благодетелна тъмнина.Все едно че съм сама.Никой не ме вижда.Дори мога да плача.Какво блаженство!Да плачеш,без да те питат защо плачеш,без да те утешават.Но за такова щастие се изисква тренировка:да плачеш,без да издадеш никакъв звук,и да си готов да отговориш на внезапен въпрос с най-невинен глас:”Четката е на етажерката!”
