Book cover for Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
And as any mixed-race person will tell you—to be half of two things is to be whole of nothing.

Markus Zusak
“On many counts, taking a boy like Rudy Steiner was robbery--so much life, so much to live for--yet somehow, I'm certain he would have loved to see the frightening rubble and the swelling of the sky on the night he passed away. He'd have cried and turned and smiled if only he could have seen the book thief on her hands and knees, next to his decimated body. He'd have been glad to witness her kissing his dusty, bomb-hit lips.
Yes, I know it.
In the darkness of my dark-beating heart, I know. He'd have loved it all right.
You see?
Even death has a heart.”
Markus Zusak (The Book Thief), The Book Thief

“It's hard to not like a man who not only notices the colors, but speaks them.”

“There were people everywhere on the city street, but the stranger could not have been more alone if it were empty.”

“When death captures me," the boy vowed, "he will feel my fist in his face." (31.26)”

“Finally, in October 1945, a man with swampy eyes, feathers of hair, and a clean-shaven face walked into the shop. He approached the counter. "Is there someone here by the name of Leisel Meminger?"
"Yes, she's in the back," said Alex. He was hopeful, but he wanted to be sure. "May I ask who is calling on her?"

Leisel came out.
They hugged and cried and fell to the floor.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
