If you build it, he will come.

The law is like rope...useful, necessary, strong, but it can be bent and twisted into all kinds of shapes depending on the occasion.
W. P. Kinsella
[I] Played a little softball, but there was nowhere on the field it was safe for me to be.
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.
W. P. Kinsella
My main income came from failed movie and TV options.

Any game becomes important when you know and love the players.
W. P. Kinsella
Syzygy, inexorable, pancreatic, phantasmagoria - anyone who can use those four words in one sentence will never have to do manual labor.
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.
