Quote of the Day (Garrison Keillor, on the Power of 'Anonymous')

“Without the anonymous author, this country would be a poorer place. Great men would be speechless. Simple directions such as ‘Stop,’ ‘Stir slowly over low heat,’ ‘No Parking,’ and ‘Use only as directed’ would lose their authority if they carried bylines.” Garrison Keillor, We Are Still Married: Stories and Letters (1990)
