Memorable Monday #11 - The Book Thief



Love a good quote? Why not share a quote in our Memorable Monday meme? Leave a link to your blogpost in the widget below.

Today I'm sharing a quote with you from one of my absolute favorite novels. The beautiful and heartbreaking novel The Book Thief by Australian author Markus Zusak. It is just filled with quote worthy passages. If you haven't read it I strongly recommend that you do, I The Book Thief! 


She said it out loud, the words distributed into a room that was full of cold air and books. Books everywhere! Each wall was armed with overcrowded yet immaculate shelving. It was barely possible to see paintwork. There were all different styles and sizes of lettering on the spines of the black, the red, the gray, the every-colored books. It was one of the most beautiful things Liesel Meminger had ever seen.

With wonder, she smiled.

That such a room existed!

No book lover can be unmoved by such a description ;) Here's anothe one, heartbreaking and bittersweet.
She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Leisel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner, soft and true on his lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers...She did not say goodbye. She was incapable, and after a few more minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground. It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on...

I would love for you to join me with a Memorable Monday quote(or quotes) of your own.
