the book thief by markus zusak
"For now, Rudy and Liesel made their way onto Himmel Street in the rain.
He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world.
She was the book thief without the words.
Trust me, though, the words were on their way,
and when they arrived Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds
and she would wring them out like the rain."
