I could introduce myself properly, but it's not really necessary. You will know me well enough and soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables. It suffices to say that at some point in time, I will be standing over you, as genially as possible. Your soul will be in my arms. A color will be perched on my shoulder. I will carry you gently away. Markus Zusak
About This Quote

I could introduce myself properly, but it's not really necessary. You will know me well enough and soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables. It suffices to say that at some point in time, I will be standing over you, as genially as possible. Your soul will be in my arms.

A color will be perched on my shoulder. I will carry you gently away. In this quote, the author states he is going to do the right thing and tell you his name once you are already in his arms. He wants to make sure that he does not make things difficult for you as he carries you away from your current life and into a new one.
