—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

Like a mother who rises at night to seek a childhood picture;
Or it goes to the backyard and stands like an old horse cold in the

“A perfect personality ... is only possible in a state of society where man is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work. One to whom the making of a table, the building of a house, or the tilling of the soil, is what the painting is to the artist and the discovery to the scientist,—the result of inspiration, of intense longing, and deep interest in work as a creative force.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
