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 am an old-fashioned storyteller. I try to make people laugh and cry. A fiction writer's duty is to entertain. If you can sneak in something profound or symbolic, so much the better.
W. P. Kinsella
Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can't come to the game without music, then they should stay home.

Any game becomes important when you know and love the players.
W. P. Kinsella
Read! Read! Read! And then read some more. When you find something that thrills you, take it apart paragraph by paragraph, line by line, word by word, to see what made it so wonderful. Then use those tricks next time you write.
W. P. Kinsella
Baseball games are like snowflakes and fingerprints, no two are ever alike.

Hardly anybody recognizes the most significant moments of their life at the time they happen.
W. P. Kinsella
I don't have time to read nonfiction.
W. P. Kinsella
I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.
W. P. Kinsella
Read, read, read, read and then read some more.
W. P. Kinsella
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
If you build it, he will come.
W. P. Kinsella
[Mid-list writers are now] less greed on the part of both publishers and chain booksellers. It is easier for them to publish and sell only blockbusters and leave the real work to small presses.
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.
