Death talking:
"One small fact. You are going to die. Despite every effort, no one lives forever. Sorry to be such a spoiler. My advice is, when the time comes, don't panic. It doesn't seem to help.
I guess I should introduce myself properly. But then again, you'll meet me soon enough. Not before your time, of course.
I make it a policy to avoid the living. Well, except sometimes. Once in a very long time... I can't help myself. I get interested.
…
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. By then, her stories had touched many souls.
…
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".
(1) Screenplay based on The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
