Quotes from "The Book Thief"

"The Book Thief" is an incredible story, and is beautifully written by Markus Zusak,  The narration is by Death.  The main character is a girl named Leisel,  and the story of her trials and tribulation during the time period of Nazi Germany.    

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.” 
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
