More quotes by W. P. Kinsella
America has been erased like a blackboard, only to be rebuilt and then erased again. But baseball has marked time while America has rolled by like a procession of steamrollers.
W. P. Kinsella
I became exclusively an American League fan when they instituted the DH rule, and will remain so until the National League moves out of the dark ages.
W. P. Kinsella
Hardly anybody recognizes the most significant moments of their life at the time they happen.
W. P. Kinsella
Growing up is a ritual, more deadly than religion, more complicated than baseball, for there seem to be no rules. Everything is experienced for the first time.
W. P. Kinsella
[I had ] uneventful, though isolated childhood. Good, kind, stable parents.
W. P. Kinsella
I'm a big fan of curling, follow all the major world events. Watch all four Tennis majors.
W. P. Kinsella
I don't have time to read nonfiction.
W. P. Kinsella
I can still put down some pretty nasty stuff on paper, which is what I enjoy doing.
W. P. Kinsella
If you build it, he will come.

I lost my wife Barbara to cancer few years ago. I would give whatever time I have left to spend one more day with her.
W. P. Kinsella
Most writers are unhappy with film adaptations of their work, and rightly so. 'Field of Dreams,' however, caught the spirit and essence of 'Shoeless Joe' while making the necessary changes to make the work more visual.
W. P. Kinsella
My main income came from failed movie and TV options.
W. P. Kinsella
I was lucky to get one good adaptation. Field of Dreams the Musical is lurking in the wings. Hope it will provide my daughters with a ton of money someday.
W. P. Kinsella
He bats like a lightning rod.
W. P. Kinsella
The crack of the bat, the sound of baseballs thumping into gloves, the infield chatter are like birdsong to the baseball starved.
W. P. Kinsella
It is the same game that Moonlight Graham played in 1905. It is a living part of history, like calico dresses, stone crockery, and threshing crews eating at outdoor tables. It continually reminds us of what was, like an Indian-head penny in a handful of new coins.
W. P. Kinsella
Someone once described the pitching of a no-hit game as like catching lighting in a bottle.
W. P. Kinsella
At one time I'd been to every park except Baltimore and Houston, but can't even keep track of who plays where these days.
W. P. Kinsella
If I have a choice between looking something up and making it up, I'll make it up every time.
W. P. Kinsella
Other people get into occupations by accident or design but writers are born. I could work at selling motels, or slopping hogs, for fifty years, but if someone asked my occupation, I'd say writer, even if I'd never sold a word. Writers write. Other people talk.
