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.

Hardly anybody recognizes the most significant moments of their life at the time they happen.

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.

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
If I have a choice between looking something up and making it up, I'll make it up every time.

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.

In the 70s and 80s, I made a good living. Have managed my funds carefully, will never have to go out and cadge quarters from the tourists.

My dad talked a good game. [I'm as a] child got only the World Series on the radio.
