“It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.”

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know?

― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
