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

“A SMALL PIECE OF TRUTH”

“Papa was a man with silver eyes, not dead ones.”

“Could she smell my breath? Could she hear my cursed circular heart beat revolving like the crime it is in my deathly chest?”

“Together, they would watch everything that was so carefully planned collapse, and they would smile at the beauty of destruction.”

“So much good, so much evil. Just add water.”

“Death waits for no man - and if he does, he doesn't usually wait for very long.”

“Reality means you live until you die...the real truth is nobody wants reality.”

“When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.”

“Death comes to me again, a girl”

“The many sorrows of our recent history suggest that we humans have a learning disability.”

“White man trying to kill you slow every day, and sometimes trying to kill you fast. Why make it easy for him? That was one kind of work you could say no to.”

“Garraty wondered how it would be, to lie in the biggest, dustiest library silence of all, dreaming endless, thoughtless dreams behind your gummed-down eyelids, dressed forever in your Sunday suit. No worries about money, success, fear, joy, pain, sorrow, sex, or love. Absolute zero. No father, mother, girlfriend, lover. The dead are orphans. No company but the silence like a moth's wing. An end to the agony of movement, to the long nightmare of going down the road. The body in peace, stillness, and order. The perfect darkness of death.”
