“Tennis is more than just a sport. Its an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! Its the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (18931953)
“The wheel of fortune guide you,
The boy with the bow beside you
Run aye in the way
Till the bird of day
And the luckier lot betide you.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“Certainly, words can be as abusive as any blow. . . . When a three-year-old yells, Youre so stupid! What a dummy! it doesnt carry the same weight as when a mother yells those words to a child. . . . Even if you dont physically abuse young children, you can still drive them nuts with your words.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
