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.

More quotes by 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
What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?
Isaac Marion
I can feel it... the chance to start over, to live right, to love right, to burn up in a fiery cloud and never again be buried in the mud.
Isaac Marion
Sometimes I wonder if he has a philosophy. Maybe even a worldview. I'd like to sit down with him and pick his brain, just a tiny bit somewhere in the frontal lobe to get a taste of his thoughts. But he's too much of a toughguy to ever be that vulnerable. - R on M

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
Once again the absurdity of my inner thoughts overwhelms me, and I want to crawl out of my skin, escape my ugly, awkward flesh and be a skeleton, naked and anonymous.
Isaac Marion

Isaac Marion
I'm not a general or a colonel or a builder of cities. I'm just a corpse who wants not to be.
Isaac Marion
I want a new past,new memories, a new first handshake with love. I want to start over in every possible way.
Isaac Marion
In my mind I am eloquent I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.
Isaac Marion
It was fun, but it's over now. This is how things go.
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
...wanting change is step one, but step two is taking it.
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
Writing isn't letters on paper. It's communication. It's memory.
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.
Isaac Marion
I want life and in all its stupid sticky rawness.
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?
