Fighting Ruben Wolfe Quotes

“I just know that right now, we want to be proud. For once. We want to take the struggle and rise above it. We want to frame it, live it, survive it. We want to put it in our mouths and taste it and never forget it, because it makes us strong.”
― Markus Zusak, Fighting Ruben Wolfe

“I notice a deliberate change in my brother. He's harder. He has a switch, and once a fight comes near, he flicks it and he is no longer my brother Rube. He's a machine.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdogs

“He is straight ahead, straight out, straight and hard, and ready to fight.
"Hope you're better than your brother," someone calls.
It hurts me. Wounds me.
"I am."
But not as much as that.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdogs

“As weeks edge past us, he fights and wins and he doesn't bother shaving. He turns up and wins. Turns up and wins. He only smiles when *I* fight well.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdogs
