He does something
to me, that boy.
Every time. It’s his
only detriment. He
steps on my heart.
He makes me cry.

“
Restricted as she was from speaking, she wanted him to kiss her. She wanted him to drag her hand across and pull her over. It didn’t matter where. Her mouth, her neck, her cheek. Her skin was empty for it, waiting.
”

Somewhere, far down,
there was an itch in
his heart, but he
made it a point not to
scratch it. He was
afraid of what might
come leaking out.

The moon was undone now, free to move and rise and fall and drip on the boy's face, making him nice and murky, like his thoughts.

I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water, chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next-door neighbor.
He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It’s his only detriment.
He steps on my heart.
He makes me cry.

Once there was a girl with a friend who lived in the shadows.
She would remind him how the sun felt on his skin
and what the air felt like to breathe.
And that reminded her that she was still alive.
- The Book Thief

“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.
Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Does anybody else ever think about the beauty of last lines in books? I mean, after hundreds of pages, that single one line is basically, a sum up, and the clearest thing in your mind after finishing. For me, its the most important line, the part that must be hardest because it seals the end of a book that could be so important to a person. 'I do, August, I do,' or 'I am haunted by humans,' or something about starting to live instead of just participating or feeling infinite or finally having to let go of someone's hand and pose for the cameras. Finishing a book without a spectacular last line would be like sitting alone at a cafe with a cold coffee in front of you. It could all just come down to being so pointless, like loving someone who would never love you back.

Imagine smiling after a slap in the face.
Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.

“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...” -The Book Thief

There have been so many young men
Over the years who think they're
Running at other young men.
They're not.
They're running at death.
