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)
