More quotes by Isaac Marion
Soft flesh is eaten by hard teeth.
Isaac Marion
We eat and sleep and shuffle through the fog, walking a marathon with no finish line, no medals, no cheering.
Isaac Marion
It's rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author, usually only one.
Isaac Marion
I want to change my punctuation. I long for exclamation marks, but I'm drowning in ellipses.
Isaac Marion
...thinking all this maximalism would somehow generate happiness?
Isaac Marion
The kind of stuff I usually read is a bit more on the literary side, like books that I think are influential in the sense that they're doing pulpy subject matter in a refined way. Like 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, I loved that book.
Isaac Marion
I sigh inside, so exhausted by these ugly questions, but when did a monster ever deserve its privacy?
Isaac Marion
What I'm saying is, when you have weight like that in your life, you have to start looking for the bigger picture or you are gonna sink.
Isaac Marion
I don't want to hear music, I don't want the sunrise to be pink. The world is a liar. Its ugliness is overwhelming the scraps of beauty make it worse.
Isaac Marion
Every time I go to sleep, I know I may never wake up. How could anyone expect to? You drop your tiny, helpless mind into a bottomless well, crossing your fingers and hoping when you pull it out on its flimsy fishing wire it hasn't been gnawed to bones by nameless beasts below.
Isaac Marion
Music? Music is life! It’s physical emotion - you can touch it! It’s neon ecto-energy sucked out of spirits and switched into sound waves for your ears to swallow. Are you telling me, what, that it’s boring? You don’t have time for it?
Isaac Marion
What's the point of trying to fix a world we're so briefly in?
Isaac Marion
I think we crushed ourselves down over the centuries. Buried ourselves under greed and hate and whatever other sins we could find until our souls finally hit the rock bottom of the universe. And then they scraped a hole through it, into some ... darker place.
Isaac Marion
Just... ate, M says, frowning at me a little. Two days...ago. I grab my stomach again. Feel empty. Feel... dead. He nods. Marr...iage.
Isaac Marion
What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?
Isaac Marion
In my palm I can feel the echo of her pulse, standing in for the absense of mine.
Isaac Marion
I would like my life to be a movie so I could cut to a montage.
Isaac Marion
Here it comes. My inevitable death, ignoring me all those years when I wished for it daily, arriving only after I've decided I want to live forever.
Isaac Marion
I crush her against me. I want to be part of her. Not just inside her but all around her. I want our rib cages to crack open and our hearts to migrate and merge. I want our cells to braid together like living thread.
Isaac Marion
When the entire world is built on death and horror, when existence is a constant state of panic, it's hard to get worked up about any one thing. Specific fears have become irrelevant. We've replace them with a smothering blanket far worse.
