beautiful phrases: The book Thief (Markus Zusak)


There had been a change in him.
A slight shift.
She saw it, but didn't realise until later, when everything came together.
She didn't see him watching as he played,
having no idea that Hans Hubermann's accordion was a story.
In the times ahead,
that story would arrive at 33 Himmel street
in the early hours of morning,
wearing ruffled shoulders
and a shivering jacket.

I would carry a suitcase,
a book and two questions.
A story.
Story after story.
Story within story.
