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

“The bombs were coming-and so was I.”

“They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible. He stands over your shoulder repeating one thin, incessantly: 'Get it done, get it done.' So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss, however, does not thank you. He asks for more.”

“Usually we walk around constantly believing ourselves. "I'm okay" we say. "I'm alright". But sometimes the truth arrives on you and you can't get it off. That's when you realize that sometimes it isn't even an answer--it's a question. Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced.”

“I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come." Those souls are always light because more of them have been put out.”

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

“Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.”

“I want to look at you as you kill me.”

“What is life? It departs covertly. Like a thief Death took him.”

“He was dead, all right. He had been shot, poisoned, stabbed, and strangled.”

“And then came Mrs Fletcher, snapping her scissors, the soft scrunch of the blades through thick hanks, the gradual sensation of lightness. Now every scrap of hair that Powell had touched was gone.”

“No one can say that death found in me a willing comrade, or that I went easily.”

“You know Sven? The man who takes care of the gym?' he asked. He waited till he got a nod from Nicholson. 'Well, if Sven dreamed tonight that his dog died, he'd have a very, very bad night's sleep, because he's very fond of that dog. But when he woke up in the morning, everything would be all right. He'd know it was only a dream.'”
