"The arts is a life of faith. It's pure faith. People preach about faith...who have no idea what faith is. But artists know. Artists are the lilies of the field that Jesus talked about in the Sermon on the Mount: Consider the lilies. Don't worry about what you're going to eat, or what you're going to wear. Consider the lilies. They toil not, and they spin not, and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
The life of the artist is pure, pure faith."
-- Garrison Keillor, in a podcast of "The News from Lake Wobegon," Sept. 19, 2009
