I AM THE MESSENGER BY MARKUS ZUSAK
❝Only in today's sick society can a man be persecuted for reading too many books.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝People die of broken hearts. They have heart attacks. And it's the heart that hurts most when things go wrong and fall apart.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝It's impeccable how brutal the truth can be at times. You can only admire it. 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.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝Big things are often just little things that people notice.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝The night is alive with stars, and when I lie down and look up, I get lost up there. I feel like I'm falling, but upward, into the abyss of sky above me.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝It's funny how when you watch people from a long distance, it all seems voiceless. It's like watching a silent movie. You guess what people say. You watch their mouths move and imagine the sounds of their feet hitting the ground. You wonder what they're talking about and, even more so, what they might be thinking.❞
♦◍♣◍♠◍♥
❝maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of.❞
