“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”

“People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations with each passing moment.

“It's a weird smile, but it reaches his eyes and I bottle it. And I put it in my ammo pack that's kept right next to my soul and Justine's spirit and Siobhan's hope and Tara's passions.

“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 ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”
