Our Father's Keepers

"It is a good thing for a man to read books of quotations."

— Winston S. Churchill

You are holding a lifetime of listening.

The quotes in this collection were gathered by one man over many years — across books devoured and dog-eared, sermons scribbled in margins, road trips and late-night conversations, the backs of napkins and the depths of his heart. They span the sacred and the sideways, the profound and the pun-adjacent.

He always called a good quote a keeper — something that caught the light just right, that said the thing you'd been trying to say for years but hadn't quite found the words for. This collection is his keepers, all in one place.

"It should be noted," the collector himself wrote, "that this compilation reflects the curiosity, the seeking of personal growth, the seeking of meaning in context with the mysteries of faith, and the occasionally warped sense of humor of Roger C Dorway the First."

That's the man. That's the book.
