Leo Tolstoy
“If you feel pain, you are alive. If you feel other people's pain, you are a human being.”
Leo Tolstoy

Garrison Keillor
“Napoleon said, “The main use of religion is to keep the common people from murdering the rich.”
Garrison Keillor, The Lake Wobegon Virus

Garrison Keillor
“Women do not adore men; women are amused by men, we are a source of chuckles. That’s because women are the makers of life, and we aren’t. We will never be able to carry life within our bodies, never breast-feed. We get more than our share of loot and we are, for some reason, incredibly brave and funny and inventive, and yet our role in procreation basically is to get crazy and howl and spray our seed in all directions. •”
Garrison Keillor, The Book of Guys: Stories

Garrison Keillor
“A major cause of injury to children is parents rushing to the scene. The panic reflex. Some children love to scream for the thrill of making immense people move fast. I remember that, on a quiet day, my sister and I in the backyard wondered, “Where’s Mom?” Upstairs, we thought. So I screamed, “MOM.” She made it down in two seconds. A good pair of wheels for an old lady.”
Garrison Keillor, Lake Wobegon Days

Garrison Keillor
“One problem is that here in the Twin Cities it’s hard to find that many freaks—at least, any who care to come on TV and talk about it,” said Fielding. “We don’t have a reliable supply of cross-dressers, hermaphrodites, eunuchs, or geeks. We have plenty of alcoholics, but how interesting are they? They don’t remember anything. This is Minnesota, we’re a journalistically challenged state. I mean, when was the last time a band of Lutherans holed up in a compound with automatic weapons? We don’t have that here.”
Garrison Keillor, The Book of Guys: Stories
