Why can’t the world hear? I ask myself. Within a few moments I ask it many times. Because it doesn’t care, I finally answer, and I know I’m right. It’s like I’ve been chosen. But chosen for what? I ask.

Markus Zusak
About This Quote

I ask myself the question, "Why can't the world hear?" because I have been chosen. I have been chosen to be a voice of peace and hope, especially for children. Sometimes, I feel that I am the only one who has heard what the world is saying. When I think about how many children are being hurt all over the world, my heart breaks.

There are many children in the world who are facing unthinkable challenges, but they are holding it together even though they are hurting. It is important for me to continue to spread this message of hope and encouragement.
