“Everyone is out there to beat me, so I go up against every single play...” — Johanna Konta Quote

“Everyone is out there to beat me, so I go up against every single player to have a battle.”

“Winning is, of course, rewarding; who doesn't enjoy winning? But for me, it's about more than just winning: it's about knowing I'm putting in the day-to-day work to get a little bit better every time.”

“I had to experience many situations and emotions to develop, and I'm still striving to become the kind of competitor I want to be.”

“Pessimism never won any battle.”

“Urbanites may picture farmers as hip heritage-pig breeders returning to the land, or a struggling rural underclass waging a doomed battle to hang on to their patrimony as agribusiness moves in. But these stereotypes are misleading.”

“In books or films, it is desirable to have a climactic battle scene, but the world does not operate in those gross dramatic terms. In Vietnam, there was a general aimlessness, not just in the physical sense, but beyond that in the moral and ethical sense.”
