“She's playing unbelievable, so I'm going to have to pick it up. Venus has been working hard for quite some time to turn this thing up. She's always in the gym, running miles, always practicing. . . . It was just a matter of timing.”
Serena Williams
“I said (to Venus) you played terrible,”
“I don't think there's anyone besides Venus that could have beaten me at this championship, ... Honestly, I'm playing better than I had in Australia.”
“Lindsay and Serena are my singles players, ... Venus agreed to come, but knows she might not be playing. She's a team player.”
Zina Garrison
“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
“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
“She is Venus when she smiles; / But she's Juno when she walks, / And Minerva when she talks.”
Ben Jonson
