Famous quotes containing the words light and/or performance:
“The light was what it was all about:
I would not go in till the light went out;
It would not go out till I came in.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s 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! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
