Markus Zusak Quote

It’s just… I wish it was easier, for me, you know? I make a special point not to look at her. I wish it was someone else who was chosen for this. Someone competent. If only I didn’t stop that robbery. I wish I didn’t have to go through with it all. It comes gushing out, with words like spilled milk. And I wish it was me with you and not that other guy. I wish it was my own skin touching with yours…And there you have it.Stupidity in its purest form.Oh, Ed. Audrey looks away. Oh, Ed.Our feet dangle.I watch them, and I watch the jeans on Audrey’s legs.We only sit there now.Audrey and me.And discomfort.Squeezed in, between us.She soon says, You’re my best friend, Ed.I know.You can kill a man with those words.No gun.No bullets.Just words and a girl.
