More quotes by Isaac Marion

Isaac Marion
It frustrates and fascinates me that we'll never know for sure, that despite the best efforts of historians and scientists and poets, there are some things we'll just never know. What the first song sounded like. How it felt to see the first photograph. Who kissed the first kiss, and if it was any good.
Isaac Marion
Sometimes it's a struggle to live in the moment.
Isaac Marion
Why is it beautiful that humanity keeps coming back? So does herpes.
Isaac Marion
If there are rules, we're the ones making them. We can change them whenever we want to.
Isaac Marion
Writing isn't letters on paper. It's communication. It's memory.
Isaac Marion
It's not like I'm such a shiny happy person either, you know? I'm a wreck too, I'm just... still alive.
Isaac Marion
No praise, no blame. Just so.
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.
