Garrison Keillor Lake Quotations

It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my home town, out here on the edge of the prairie

We have nearly complete misunderstanding between people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon, and that's probably one reason why we get along so very well. It's when you are trying to convince another person to think the same way that you do that there is friction and trouble between people. But when you feel that the other person is dumber than dirt, too dumb for words - why waste your breath - you get along pretty well. There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.

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

In Lake Wobegon, we don't forget mistakes.
