Tennis, imprisoned within fixed boundaries, a patch of an acre, a green rectangle, tries the human soul. A tennis court is like a coffin, only larger.

People aren't grapes - you can't weigh them in a bunch, but I guess it's easier than dealing with people as individuals.

Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.

Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women.

My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.

Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.

Sport strips away personality, letting the white bone of character shine through. Sport gives players an opportunity to know and test themselves. The great difference between sport and art is that sport, like a sonnet, forces beauty within its own system. Art, on the other hand, cyclically destroys boundaries and breaks free.
