“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? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever 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.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“You may like or dislike my way of life, that's a matter of the perfect indifference to me; you will have to treat me with respect if you want to know me”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Vol 5 of 8
