Unique Performance

Famous quotes containing the words unique and/or performance:

    When each thing is unique in itself, there can be no comparison made.... There is only this strange recognition of present otherness.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
