There's one thing I'm really good at, and that's hitting the ball over a net, in a box. I'm excellent.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

We're sisters, we're roommates, we're all that.

I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.

Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.

Nature is in the process of shutting down corrupt corporations and their government minions.

Come forward as servants of Islam, organize the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.

Everything in the universe is nothing but consciousness. Which makes us all ONE!

I believe Islam is superior. And will not be surpassed. So I believe that the law of God is much superior to man-made law.

I'd written personal essays before, but never on this scale -- never so often and with such, er, honesty. (If by honesty I mean slashing my wrists and hemorrhaging all over the computer screen).

Men. <...> They're idiots. It's like they all take a vow of stupidity or something.

Rock stars come and go. Musicians play until they die.

It's improper to use the egg roll for political purposes.

The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.

I rolled myself up into a tight ball of resistance and it was thus that I went through my school years.
