A book is a gift you can open again and again.

The reason to retire is to try to avoid embarrassment; you ought to do it before people are dropping big hints. You want to be the first to come up with the idea. You don't want to wait until you trip and fall off the stage.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

I think that if writers are t...

I think that if writers are tempted to do other things, they ought to go do other things. They should not write if they don't feel like it. I say this as a competitor. I am not interested in encouraging people who are in competition with me.

I don't have a great eye for ...

I don't have a great eye for detail. I leave blanks in all of my stories. I leave out all detail, which leaves the reader to fill in something better.

Zoroastrians believe in one Great Almighty Spirit of Good who is in combat against evil forces, and Goodness prevails in the end. There is no self-flagellation or staring at the sun or snake-handling.

Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.

I'm not busy... a woman with three children under the age of 10 wouldn't think my schedule looked so busy.

There is almost no marital problem that can't be helped enormously by taking off your clothes.

Your life is a work of art, and in the end, the underlying theme of great art is bravery and hope and love.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

Don't tear up the page and st...

Don't tear up the page and start over again when you write a bad line-try to write your way out of it. Make mistakes and plunge on. Writing is a means of discovery, always.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

When writing loses touch with...

When writing loses touch with the beautiful surface of the world, it loses its way. You always want to be in touch with how things look and what people say and what they call their dogs.

TV news is as bloody as Shake...

TV news is as bloody as Shakespeare but without the intelligence and the poetry. If you watch television news you know less about the world than if you drank gin out of a bottle

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

Life is continuous. Life neve...

Life is continuous. Life never stops. We come to the really great questions and before we can answer them, life has moved on to something else.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

Sex is not a mechanical act t...

Sex is not a mechanical act that fails for lack of technique, and it is not a performance by the male for the audience of the female; it is a continuum of attraction that extends from the simplest conversation and the most innocent touching through the act of coitus.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

Bravery and adventure! That's...

Bravery and adventure! That's the ticket! Don't sit and gather moss. Get up, get out, do what you dream of doing, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, and you don't need to made that particular mistake again, but at least you won't get old wondering what if you had.

Pumpkin pie is a living symbol of mediocrity. The best pumpkin pie you ever ate wasn't all that much different from the worst pumpkin pie you ever ate.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

The thought of people in this...

The thought of people in this day and age sitting down to listen to a radio variety show on Saturday evening is rather implausible and was even more so in 1974 when we started “A Prairie Home Companion.” Thank goodness Minnesota Public Radio was too poor to afford good advice or the show never would've got on the air. We only did it because we knew it would be fun to do. It was a dumb idea. I wish I knew how to be that dumb again.

All solutions are temporary, so why not go for duct tape?

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

I talk in subjects and verbs,...

I talk in subjects and verbs, and sort of wind around in concentric circles until I get far enough away from the beginning so that I can call it the end, and it ends.

Garrison Keillor 289 quotes

The father of a daughter is n...

The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, 'Daddy, I need to ask you something,' he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.
