Garrison Keillor
 Guys are in trouble these days. Years ago, manhood was an opportunity for achievement and now it's just a problem to be overcome.

I want you to make cost reduction Plan A in your Late-Start Retirement Strategy. |
| is that we're this little, quiet pond, undisturbed. Sort of like a museum piece. Except we don't want to be a museum piece. Listening to the radio is not a normal thing. We have to get millions of people to do something that is not normal. So we have to continue to work to deserve the attention of the millions of people who listen. |
| It (The New York Times) reads like it was edited by two elderly sociologists, one of whom has been dead for many years |
| It is the classic Freaks, Fatties, Fanatics and Faux Culture Excursion beloved of European journalists for the past 50 years. |
| It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire. With air conditioning their windows were shut, they couldn't hear the barbarians coming. |
| It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars. |
