More quotes by Isaac Marion
I can no longer believe in any voodoo spell or laboratory virus. This is something deeper, darker. This comes from the cosmos, from the stars, or the unknown blackness behind them. The shadows in God's boarded-up basement.
Isaac Marion
She is Living and I'm Dead, but I'd like to believe we're both human. Call me an idealist.
Isaac Marion
It's a strange feeling, being so utterly surrounded by her. Her life scent is on everything. She's on me and under me and next to me. It's as if the entire room is made out of her.
Isaac Marion
Deep under our feet the Earth holds its molten breath, while the bones of countless generations watch us and wait.
Isaac Marion

Isaac Marion
It's more eerie to be alone in a city that's lit up and functioning than one that's a tomb. If everything were silent, one could almost pretend to be in nature. A forest. A meadow. Crickets and birdsong. But the corpse of civilization is as restless as the creatures that now roam the graveyards.
Isaac Marion
Of course, if I eat all of him, if I spare his brain, he'll rise up and follow me back to the airport, and that might make feel better. I'll introduce him to everyone, and maybe we'll stand around and groan for a while. It's hard to say what 'friends' are any more, but that might be close.
Isaac Marion
Everything you see, you might be seeing for the last time.
Isaac Marion
If there are rules, we're the ones making them. We can change them whenever we want to.
Isaac Marion
In my palm I can feel the echo of her pulse, standing in for the absense of mine.
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
Warm Bodies ended up becoming one of the most personal relatable things I've written.
Isaac Marion
It's rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author, usually only one.
