  • Volleyball anchored me at a time in my life when I needed it. It gave me a reason for being this big, big girl.

  • Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else. Snow in snow-banks, fire in volcanoes and solfataras is cheap. The luxury of ice is in tropical countries, and midsummer days. The luxury of fire is, to have a little on our hearth; and of electricity, not the volleys of the charged cloud, but the manageable stream on the battery-wires. So of spirit, or energy; the rests or remains of it in the civil and moral man, are worth all the cannibals in the Pacific.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Illustrated)”, p.2282, Delphi Classics
  • A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.

  • I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes

    Athlete   Player   Bigs  
  • Blank cartridges should never be used against a mob, nor should a volley be fired over the heads of the mob even if there is little danger of hurting persons in the rear. Such things will be regarded as an admission of weakness, or an attempt to bluff, and may do more harm than good.

    Peace   Hurt   War  
  • It takes a lot of hard work and dedication just like any pro sport. Especially for beach volleyball you don't have to be tall or as fast as other sports. You just have to have the skills.

  • Those two volleys really could be the story of this match summed up at the end of it.

    Two   Tennis   Stories  
  • Science fiction is a dialogue, a tennis match, in which the Idea is volleyed from one side of the net to the other. Ridiculous to say that someone 'stole' an idea: no, no, a thousand times no. The point is the volley, and how it's carried, and what statement is made by the answering 'statement.' In other words — if Burroughs initiates a time-gate and says it works randomly, and then Norton has time gates confounded with the Perilous Seat, the Siege Perilous of the Round Table, and locates it in a bar on a rainy night — do you see both the humor and the volley in the tennis match?

  • Fold him in his country's stars. Roll the drum and fire the volley! What to him are all our wars, What but death bemocking folly?

    George Henry Boker (1864). “Poems of the War”, p.169
  • I'd have to say Thierry Henry. From the ages of ten to 16, watching him in the Premier League was amazing and he scored all different types of goals - free-kicks, volleys, left foot, right foot. He was entertaining. He's probably the best centre-forward, I think, to play in the Premier League.

  • Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old.

  • Ryan Reynolds and I can be doing a scene facing the camera and somehow our back and forth and our rhythm, we know when to stop and when to volley, when to make the sound. It's like music.

  • Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.

  • Wimbledon attracted Bill Clinton to the gallery at Centre Court Tuesday at the All England Club. NBC cameras showed his head turning back and forth with each volley. Even at a tennis match, it looks like he's denying everything.

    Nbc   Tuesday   Tennis  
  • Small miseries, like small debts, hit us in so many places, and meet us at so many turns and corners, that what they want in weight, they make up in number, and render it less hazardous to stand the fire of one cannon ball, than a volley composed of such a shower of bullets.

    Fire   Numbers   Balls  
  • I've been writing a lot about just the aspects of luck and being picked, and how of course it's always how one perceives themselves in the world, as a bit of a scapegoat or a bit of a hero. Everyone generally has about a 60/40 split that volleys, between those two.

    Hero   Writing   Two  
    Interview with Chris Dahlen, pitchfork.com. March 6, 2005.
  • Lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air.

    Clouds   Air   Weather  
    Edward Abbey (1988). “Desert Solitaire”, p.107, University of Arizona Press
  • John McEnroe...was arguably the best serve-and-volley man of all time, but then McEnroe was an exception to pretty much every predictive norm there was. At his peak (say 1980 to 1984), he was the greatest tennis player who ever lived-the most talented, the most beautiful, the most tormented: a genius. For me, watching McEnroe don a blue polyester blazer and do stiff lame truistic color commentary for TV is like watching Faulkner do a Gap ad.

  • Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.

    Girl   Tennis   Hints  
  • I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It's Paul Scholes. Players like Denis Law and George Best who I enjoyed so much as team-mates and now, finally, players I have watched closely in the Alex Ferguson era. And in so many ways Scholes is my favourite. I love his nous and conviction that he will find a way to win, to make the killer pass or produce the decisive volley.

  • If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to do that more, how to move at the net.

    "'I'm not happy with being No. 4 in the world'". Interview with Ravi Ubha, www.espn.co.uk. March 16, 2010.
  • Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

    William Arthur Ward (1968). “Thoughts of a Christian Optimist: The Words of William Arthur Ward”
  • If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

  • You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.

  • For five years we never went outside our doors without a volley of curses from our neighbours.

  • I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.

    "Greatest competitor: Andy Roddick". Interview with Tim Adams, www.theguardian.com. November 14, 2009.
  • I try not to hit a swing volley and run back. So my swing volley is kind of that transition to the net. It's been one of my favorite shots ever since I was young.

  • [Donald Trump] will be the one on offense. He will be the one serving volleys, and it may be some weird stuff about the Russians, but he will be controlling things a little more than he probably did over the last two weeks.

  • A mere forty years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about.

  • Same job, whether it's comedy or drama. Regardless of the weight of the role, I feel like the job is always kind of the same. Who is this person? What's this guy here, and how is he playing with this thing, and what's he trying to say? And what's the volley with all these other people around him?
