Famous quotes containing the words tennis and/or career:
“Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
