"How can it all be random, chance, a beautiful cosmic accident? How?"

-Nickolas Butler, Little Faith

"Part of being a parent is loving your child more than they'll ever love you," he said."

-Nickolas Butler, Little Faith

"Lyle, part of being a Christian - hell, part of being a good person - is caring about everyone, all human life. And I love you, friend, I do. But there are times when I think you feel that a person fails at religion if they're not-always-doing-the-perfect-thing-every-damn-time."

-Nickolas Butler, Little Faith

"I never understood organized religion," Otis said at length. "Be a good person. Don't hurt other folks. Don't cheat. Don't be greedy. That seems pretty straightforward to me. I don't need a goddamn guidebook to stay on the straight and narrow. Or a set of stones engraved by lightening. Or some heavenly reward. I don't need a particular day of the week set aside. All of our days are important, every last one. You get older, that comes into tighter and tighter focus."
