“When Sharapova, Venus or Serena do things outside the sport to get attraction it can only be good for the game. We're in a world where it's not just about sports it's about entertainment.”
Michael Downey
“She is Venus when she smiles; / But she's Juno when she walks, / And Minerva when she talks.”
Ben Jonson
“Martina Navratilova is an incredible person who has done so much for our sport. Venus and Serena are incredible. And Lisa is a good team player who plays singles and doubles well.”
Zina Garrison
“GRACES, n. Three beautiful goddesses, Aglaia, Thalia and Euphrosyne, who attended upon Venus, serving without salary. They were at no expense for board and clothing, for they ate nothing to speak of and dressed according to the weather, wearing whatever breeze happened to be blowing.”
Ambrose Bierce
“An occultation of Venus is not half so difficult as an eclipse of the Sun, but because it comes seldom the world thinks it's a grand thing”
Mark Twain
“Big Eyed Beans From Venus”
Captain Beefheart
“A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces/ More commonly it's modeled of baling wire and acne./ More commonly it wheezes and tips over.”
Marge Piercy
