“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
The Book Thief is my favourite book, it’s the kind of book that as soon as you finish it you want to read it all over again. This is one of the many beautiful quotes that are in Mark Zusak’s writing. It’s talking about how much power words can have, and how important they are. You can use words in so many different ways. In this particular quote he’s saying that yes, he’s hated and loved words, but in this book he hopes that he’s made it right. I think that being ‘right’ he could mean that he tells a good story, teaches a lesson, creates amazing writing, and most importantly made the words mean something to you.
