Movie Quote of the Day (‘Field of Dreams,’ on Baseball, ‘The One Constant’)
“The one constant through all the years has been
baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased
like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.
This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once
was good, and what could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most
definitely come.” —Reclusive author Terence Mann (played by James Earl Jones), in Field of Dreams, screenplay
by Phil Alden Robinson based on the novel Shoeless
Joe by W. P. Kinsella, directed by Phil Alden Robinson (1989)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
