Famous quotes containing the word tennis:

    “The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
    —Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)

    “Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.”
    —Joseph Heller (b. 1923)

    “Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
