“In the Jewish Quarter [Judengasse] was I born and educated; until my fifteenth year, they tried to beat the Talmud into me.

“When I was in grade school and we had to write papers about what we wanted to be when we grew up, I wanted to be a social worker or a missionary or a teacher... Then I got involved with tennis, and everything was just me, me, me. I was totally selfish and thought about myself and nobody else, because if you let up for one minute, someone was going to come along and beat you. I really wouldn't let anyone or any slice of happiness enter... I didn't like the characteristics that it took to become a champion.” IfsWritingWantedSchoolHappinessSocialTeacherMinutesGrewInvolvedPaperGrew UpBeatsWorkersSelfishSelfishnessChampionCharacteristicsTennisGradesMissionaryPapersSocial WorkerOne MinuteGrades In School Author:Chris Evert

“They [teachers] beat it right out of me. Or they beat it into me and educated it out of me. I don't know; that's an interesting question.
