Piss Poor Performance

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or performance:

“To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“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)
