“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

“What great malice there could be in allowing something to live.”
― 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.”
― Noemie Caballero

“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
