I submit that tennis is the most beautiful sport there is and also the most demanding.

In Gilead, the narrator's friend's son describes himself not as an atheist but in "state of categorical unbelief." He says, "I don't even believe God doesn't exist, if you see what I mean."

And the point of great writers like Wilde is that they make that invitation to you. — Stephen Fry
