I feel like a blind man searching a dark room. (Old Man Alone on Labor Day Weekend — blog post) - 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.

A good newspaper is never good enough, but a lousy newspaper is a joy forever.

It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars.
