Garrison Keillor

Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Loving yourself…does not mean being self-absorbed or narcissistic, or disregarding others. Rather it means welcoming yourself as the most honored guest in your own heart, a guest worthy of respect, a lovable companion.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

Everyone should have enough money to get plastic surgery

I enjoy being me; I always have done. I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don’t want that in my life.

Women, take the pressure off when dating. He has to impress you – not the other way around. You are the prize.

I’ve always thought that each person invented himself for whatever reasons, for whatever circumstances, through whatever he has gone through, that we are each a figment of our own imagination. And some people have a greater ability to imagine than others.

I think I remind everyone of themselves. Not saying everyone is my size, but it’s relatable because I’m not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable.

Didn’t want y’all to call me fat, so I got liposuction. And they gave me opioids.

You are beautiful not because you are better than others, but because there is only you who can smile like that.

Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.

You’re not worth the time that this is taking.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

The first thing to do is be happy with yourself and appreciate your body-only then should you try to change things about yourself.

The way I define beauty is individuality and wisdom, which I think creates a certain inner confidence. And not confidence in a way that’s only on the surface, but a deep-down knowing of yourself or settling into who you are.
