Famous quotes containing the word front:

    “Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
    —Bill Tilden (1893–1953)

    “For as she eats wisdom like the halves of a pear she puts one foot in front of the other. She climbs the dark wing.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The monster of advertisement ... is a sort of octopus with innumerable tentacles. It throws out to right and left, in front and behind, its clammy arms, and gathers in, through its thousand little suckers, all the gossip and slander and praise afloat, to spit out again at the public.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923)
