Markus Zusak: "Musim panas datang. Bagi pencuri buku, semuanya berjala...

"Musim panas datang. Bagi pencuri buku, semuanya berjalan baik. Bagi saya, langit adalah warna orang Yahudi. Ketika tubuh mereka selesai mencari celah di pintu, jiwa mereka bangkit. Ketika kuku mereka menggaruk kayu dan dalam beberapa kasus dipaku ke dalamnya oleh kekuatan putus asa, roh mereka datang ke arahku, ke dalam pelukanku, dan kami memanjat keluar dari fasilitas mandi itu, ke atap dan ke atas, ke keabadian luasnya tertentu. Mereka terus memberi saya makan. Menit demi menit. Mandi setelah mandi."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Summer came. For the book thief, everything was going nicely. For me, the sky was the color of Jews. When their bodies had finished scouring for gaps in the door, their souls rose up. When their fingernails had scratched at the wood and in some cases were nailed into it by the sheer force of desperation, their spirits came toward me, into my arms, and we climbed out of those shower facilities, onto the roof and up, into eternity's certain breadth. They just kept feeding me. Minute after minute. Shower after shower.
