“A man that loves to be peevish and paramount, and to play the sovereign at every turn, does but blast the blessings of life, and swagger away his own enjoyments; and not to enlarge upon not folly, not to mention the injustice of such a behavior, it is always the sign of a little, unbenevolent temper. It is disease and discredit all over, and there is no more greatness in it, than in the swelling of a dropsy.” MenLittlesDoePlayTurnsGreatnessBlessingDiseaseBehaviorInjusticeEnjoymentArroganceFollyTemperSovereignBlastParamountSwaggerDiscreditSwelling Author:Jeremy Collier

“It's remarkable she [Venus Williams] plays at all, given her Sjögren's syndrome [an autoimmune disorder that can cause joint pain]. She's back, winning tournaments. She didn't allow society to tell her, "You have this disease; you can't do that anymore." I look at her, like, "She's not playing at 100 percent. You are. You don't have excuses." Knowing what she went through helped me try to be a more positive person.” TryingLooksPersonsPlayPainWinningGivenCausesKnowingDiseasePercentExcuseRemarkableDisorderJointsTournamentsSyndromesVenusPositive Person Author:Serena Williams
“I know girls who pine for it. They like to play dress-up and pretend being Vor ladies of old, rescued from menace by romantic Vor youths. For some reason they never play 'dying in childbirth', or 'vomiting your guts out from the red dysentery', or 'weaving till you go blind and crippled from arthritis and dye poisoning', or 'infanticide'. Well, they do die romantically of disease sometimes, but somehow it's always an illness that makes you interestingly pale and everyone sorry and doesn't involve losing bowel control.” KnowsWellsSometimesReasonPlayDiesGirlDyingYouthDiseaseLosingRedDressesBlindSorryIllnessGutsPaleChildbirthMenacePoisoningCrippledWeavingArthritisVomitingInfanticideDysentery Author:Lois McMaster Bujold
