More Quotes from Markus Zusak:
When he moves, a streetlight stabs him, and the words flow out like blood.Markus Zusak
Our footsteps run, and I don't want them to end. I want to run and laugh and feel like this forever. I want to avoid any awkward moment when the realness of reality sticks its fork into our flesh, leaving us standing there, together. I want to stay here, in this moment, and never go to other places, where we don't know what to say or what to do.
Markus Zusak
