Quotation
Death on Liesel's long life: In my job, I am always finding
humans at their best...
and their worst.
I see their ugliness,
and their beauty...
and I wonder how the
same thing can be both.
I've attended all the
world's worst disasters...
and worked for the greatest of villains.
And I've seen the greatest wonders.
But it's still like I said it was.
No one lives forever.
When I finally came for Liesel...
I took selfish pleasure
in the knowledge
that she had lived
her 90 years so wisely.
I wanted to tell the book thief
she was one of the few souls...
that made me wonder
what it was to live.
But in the end,
there were no words.
Only peace.
The only truth I truly know...
is that I am haunted by humans.
