Death Quote by Markus Zusak — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I carried [Rudy] softly through the broken street...with him I tried a little harder [at comforting]. I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water, chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next-door neighbor. He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.”

“I am not violent. I am not malicious. I am a result.”

“A SMALL PIECE OF TRUTH”

“For two days I went about my business. I travelled the globe as always, handing souls to the conveyor belt of eternity.”

“She was still clutching the book. She was holding desperately on to the words who had saved her life.”

“Very quickly, very suddenly, words fell through my mind. They landed on the floor of my thoughts, and in there, down there, I started to pick the words up. They were excerpts of truth gathered from inside me.”

“Aren't you afraid of dying?”

“Death is not the end”

“I shall plunge down into the abysmal horror of madness and death—or I shall walk upon the dawn.”

“Failures plagued me. Things I had omitted or ignored, neglected. What I should have given and hadn’t. I felt the biting pang of every unfulfillment.”

“When was it I realized that, on this truly dark and solitary path we all walk, the only way we can light is our own? Although I was raised with love, I was always lonely.”

“Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another.”
