Lawn Tennis

Famous quotes containing the words lawn and/or tennis:

    Once our idea of heaven meant
    all the dead relatives waiting
    on the kept lawn of the many mansions
    as if, suddenly sinless, they had nothing
    to do. ...
    Deborah Digges (b. 1950)

    I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
