Garrison Keillor
Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
Garrison Keillor

Garrison Keillor
I've wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver.
Garrison Keillor
The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.
Garrison Keillor
Some of us have a relentless urge to attempt what we can never be good at and neglect our true calling.
