Find me on Goodreads:https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2...Daily posts at https://www.BiblioAtlas.comQuotes included in the video:
1. “Rosa Hubermann had a face decorated with constant fury. That was how the creases were made in the cardboard texture of her complexion (33).”
2. “In this case, Rudy has already made up his mind about Liesel Meminger (49).”
3. “You can steal a book, but you can’t read one! (77).”
4. “Again, the mayor’s wife watched the space next to her. A blank-page face . … Once, words had had rendered Liesel useless, but now, when she sat on the floor, with the mayor’s wife at her husband’s desk, she felt an innate sense of power. It happened every time she deciphered a new word or pieced together a sentence. She was a girl. In Nazi Germany. How fitting that she was discovering the power of words (146-147).”
5. “The title, over and over again, as the train prattled on, from one German town to the next. Mein Kampf. Of all the things to save him (160).”
6. “‘If we gamble on a Jew,’ said Papa soon after, ‘I would prefer to gamble on a live one,’ and from that moment, a new routine was born (215).”
7. “Even death has a heart (242).”
8. “His armpits were soggy and the words fell like injuries from his mouth (345).”
9. “She returned to bed and fell asleep to the vision of Mama and the silent music (429).”
10. “It’s probably fair to say that in all the years of Hitler’s reign, no person was able to serve the Fuhrer as loyally as me. A human doesn’t have a heart like mine. The human heart is a line, whereas my own is a circle, and I have the endless ability to be in the right place at the right time. The consequence of this is that I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both. Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die (491).”
