Markus Zusak Quotes

The happiest of pillows is not that which love first presses! it is that which death has frowned on and passed over.

Oh, my darling, wish you were here! And my dark soul is happy again, because it does not know how to be anything else for very long, and because the pain is a deep dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the surface, steadily towards a sun which will never rise.
