Garrison Keillor quotes (I'm cheating with more than one today):

"They would not be smart enough to pour piss out of their boots, if the instructions were written on the sole."

"The funniest line in English is "Get it?" When you say that, everyone chortles."

"I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it."

"God writes a lot of comedy...the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors that don't know how to play funny."

"...it was a dark and damp cave with countless Buddah statues standing in the foreground, soon after entering we were stumbling around in the dark. I meant to bring my flashlight, but I forgot, so I fumbled around for a pack of matches.

When I lit each match, it formed a small cirlce of light around us. In that circle the thin tall Buddhas stood sentry. Each time I lit another match this gentle army sprang to life, and each time it flickered out, we were plunged back into darkness. It was a remarkable effect, very spiritual, and it made me consider how far we'd come...

...it struck me that life was like that, too. You light a match, and you're just a child. Light another, and you're married with children of your own. A few more brief, and bright flares, and our babies have left home. A few more after that and your pack is used up.

...Know that we must make each brief combustion a bright, shinning moment that pierces the darkness and illuninates a thousand gods."
