Famous quotes containing the words table and/or tennis:

    “The gingham dog and the calico cat
    Side by side on the table sat;”
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)

    “I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
