“I could introduce myself, but it's not really necessary. You will know me well enough and soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables. It suffices to say that at some point in time, I will be standing over you, as genially as possible. You soul will be in my arms. A color will be perched on my shoulder. I will carry you gently away.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Snow had been falling consistently, and the service to Munich was forced to stop due to faulty track work. There was a woman wailing. A girl stood numbly next to her.
In panic, the mother opened the door.
She climbed down into the snow, holding the small body.
What could the girl do but follow?”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“death's diary- the snowman- thirteen presents- the next book- the nightmare of a Jewish corpse- a newspaper sky- a visitor- a schmunzeler- and a final kiss on poisoned cheeks”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Your soul left the world
Eyes beseeching,
Face imploring.
I looked into your eyes.
No mercy.
No pity.

The moment before death
A star suspended in the night
A cloud to cover the sun
An instant of regret, me wondering, What have I done?
Then you were gone.
Your soul had left you.
I watched it go-
Fluttering on dark and broken wings-
To hell or heaven, I'll never know.”
