We have to remember everything. If we don't, by the time we grow up it'll be gone forever.
Isaac Marion
I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. I would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. Eventually I decided to give writing a serious shot.

I'm watching her talk. Watching her jaw move and collecting her words one by one as they spill from her lips. I don't deserve them. Her warm memories. I'd like to paint them over the bare plaster walls of my soul, but everything I paint seems to peel.
Isaac Marion
What's the point of trying to fix a world we're so briefly in?
Isaac Marion
We are where we are, however we got here. What matters is where we go next.
Isaac Marion
You know things are moving. You're changing, you fellow Dead are changing, the world is ready for something miraculous. What are we waiting for?
Isaac Marion
Deep under our feet the Earth holds its molten breath, while the bones of countless generations watch us and wait.
Isaac Marion
How do I appear unthreatening when her lover's blood is running down my chin?

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.
Isaac Marion

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
You might say that death has relaxed me.
Isaac Marion
We eat and sleep and shuffle through the fog, walking a marathon with no finish line, no medals, no cheering.
Isaac Marion
You can order yourself to treasure a moment, to cling tight to a feeling and never let it fade, but it's your brain, that three-pound lump of hamburger, that makes the final call.
Isaac Marion
It’s sad to see them staring wistfully through the window when the door isn’t locked.
Isaac Marion
Once you've arrived at the end of the world, it hardly matters which route you took.
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
Life only makes any sense if we can see time how God does. Past, present, and future all at once.
Isaac Marion
Everything you see, you might be seeing for the last time.
Isaac Marion
A month ago there was nothing on Earth I missed, enjoyed, or longed for. I knew I could lose everything and not feel anything, and I rested easy in that knowledge. But I'm growing tired of easy things.
