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

This is football from the 19th century. It's very difficult to play a football match when only one team wants to play. A football match is about two teams playing. I told Big Sam, they need points.

One of the traps of adolescence is the sort of paranoid resentment that somehow you're never going to match up and that everybody else's life is going to be better and finer and fuller.

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