“I was never happy that my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis. I have enjoyed my time away from the court, a period that has allowed me to experience a different side of life. However, I miss the game and the challenge of competing at the highest level of tennis, and I want to gauge whether I can stay healthy and compete against today's top players.” WantI CanDifferentTodayGamesSidesChallengesDecisionLevelsStepsCareersCuttingPlayerMissingPeriodsHealthyHighestCourtEnjoyedMy TimeTennisInjuryCompetingGaugesDifferent SidesTime Away Author:Martina Hingis
“Medieval England was a great military power with a sophisticated machinery of government, but her naval administration, at best improvised and for long periods missing altogether, pointed to a grave weakness: the lack of any reliable means of putting a force of warships at the disposal of the crown. Only Richard I and Henry V of all the kings of England can be said to have understood the problem and attempted to remedy it. It is no coincidence that they wer by far the most successful in war.” MeanLongSaidWarProblemGovernmentForceSuccessfulMilitaryMissingKingsPeriodsUnderstoodWeaknessEnglandGravesAdministrationRemedyCrownsSophisticatedCoincidenceMachineryMedievalNavalMilitary PowerGreat MilitaryHenry VWarships Author:Nicholas Rodger
“If you wish to collect complimentary material for a record of yourself, never appeal to your relations. They may be proud of you as an asset to the family name, but they have a gift for remembering your gawky period privately, the follies and faults you committed and have forgotten. You may have come up in the world with a laurel on your brow, but if you go back home forty years later wearing two laurels on your brow, and a noble expression, they will miss the point.” IfsWorldYearsMayTwoHomeRememberNamesWishFamilyRecordsMissingExpressionMaterialsProudPeriodsRelationFaultsForgottenCome UpCommittedNobleAppealsFollyFortyAssetsBe ProudBack HomeBrowsLaurelsProud Of YouFamily Name Author:Corra May Harris

“There has been a ton of excellent music in this period (along with a few misses), evoking scenes like a bar-room brawl at a border-town dive, a washed-up singer in a smoky lounge, and the scenes of violence in Bob Dylan latter-day music videos.I think the ethos of this period is best summed up in the 2001 song "Summer Days".” ThinkingHas BeensSongRoomsViolenceMissingPeriodsSceneSummerTownsSingersBarsVideoExcellentBordersLatterBobDylanEthosLatter DaysSummer Days Author:Jay Michaelson
“Young people of this century, like my son, didn't live through all those things that went on during that period of time, from 1930 to 1950. They're missing that experience.
