Famous quotes containing the words top and/or players:
“You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops, you
would pluck out the heart of my mystery, you would sound me
from my lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is
much music, excellent voice, in this little organ.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
