I always wanted to be somebody. If I made it, it's half because I was game enough to take a lot of punishment along the way and half because there were a lot of people who cared enough to help me. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
The barking of the dogs was getting louder, closer once more. Jesse's finger curled
around the trigger. He tried to still his mind from all thoughts. But the image of Miss
Althea lingered.
Sweet-smelling Miss Althea with her warm smile and her so very round parts. She never looked at him mean or like she was afraid. She looked at him loving, warm and loving, like she looked at the boy. She looked at Jesse that way. And he liked it. He really liked it. But he wanted it different, too. He was not a boy. Jesse was a man. He wanted Miss Althea to see that. He wanted to put meat on her table. That's what men do for the women they love. ~ Pamela Morsi
Althea quotes by Pamela Morsi
Be now what you must be to succeed at the end of your journey, and when the end comes, you will find it is just another beginning.' Althea ~ Robin Hobb
Althea quotes by Robin Hobb
He pulled her close and kissed her. Happiness and joy settled around them like a warm cloak. And gentleness spurred passion. His kiss deepened and a soft, low moan eased out of his throat.
He wiggled on the bed beneath her, letting her feel the resurgence of his passion inside her.
"I'm ready to do it again," he said plainly.
"You can't do it twice," she answered, giggling.
"Why not?"
"You just can't," Althea told him. "Men do it one time and then they rest up for a day or two."
"I think I'm rested up enough," he told her.
"Jesse, I know what I'm talking about," she said with confidence. "I was married for over two years. And I know all about it. You can't be ready to do it again."
He proved her wrong. ~ Pamela Morsi
Althea quotes by Pamela Morsi
Being champion is all well and good, but you can't eat a crown. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
You are the only woman I want to spend my life with. This fact had dawned on me for quite some time now. Things might be fucked up for now. But I'll do everything to fix this chaos, so I can freely say it to you. Althea Denise Limerick, I want to marry you. ~ April Avery
Althea quotes by April Avery
It seemed almost inconceivable that in his short marriage to Althea she had, in her quiet way, left him feeling not only worthy, but exceptional, a man not only capable of being a real poet, but a husband and father too. ~ Andre Dubus III
Althea quotes by Andre Dubus III
Althea had never known that misery could achieve perfection. Only now, as she sat staring at her emptied glass, did she grasp how completely wrong her world had become. Things had been bad before, things had been flawed, but it was only today that she had made one stupid decision after another until everything was as completely wrong as it could possibly be. ~ Robin Hobb
Althea quotes by Robin Hobb
Some of the most powerful antiseptic essential oils include lavender oil, tea tree oil, and clove oil. ~ Althea Press
Althea quotes by Althea Press
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
Cassie's first thought when she saw the old woman was, What a marvelous thing plastic surgery is. The woman was younger than Althea, but looked fifty years older ~ Jude Deveraux
Althea quotes by Jude Deveraux
So. Which of our troubles torments you most this evening?"
Althea surrendered. "They all nip at my heels like a pack of yapping feists, ship. I don't know which to worry about first."
The figurehead gave a snort of disdain. "Then kick them away as if they were truly a pack of curs and fix your gaze instead on your destiny." … "Don't think about the obstacles" … The ship spoke in a low, soft voice. "Long or short, if you worry about every step of a journey, you will divide it endlessly into pieces, any one of which may defeat you. Look only to the end."
"I think we will succeed only if we prepare ourselves," Althea objected.
Paragon shook his head. "Teach yourself to believe you will succeed. … Be now what you must be to succeed at the end of your journey, and when the end comes, you will find it is just another beginning."
Althea sighed. "Now you sound like Amber," she complained.
"No." He contradicted her flatly. "Now I sound like myself. The self I put aside and hid, the self I intended to be again someday, when I was ready. I have stopped intending. I am, now."
p. 86: Paragon to Althea ~ Robin Hobb
Althea quotes by Robin Hobb
In the field of sports you are more or less accepted for what you do rather than what you are. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
Jesse squeezed her breasts ardently. "I just love your round parts, Miss Althea. They are just about the best things I ever felt in my life."
He proved his enthusiasm for them by kneading, manipulating, and caressing until Althea was standing on her tiptoes, every muscle in her body straining to give him better access.
"Oh, Miss Althea," he said finally, removing his hands from her body. "This is the most fun I ever had in my life."
He was breathing as if he'd just run up the mountain, pulling Granny Piggott on the skid. ~ Pamela Morsi
Althea quotes by Pamela Morsi
Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
I love you, Althea - you are so beautiful," murmured the young man into my ear.
Well, I was willing enough. I looked up at him from under my eyelashes. "I love you too," I confessed. I averted my gaze and added privately, "You are so rich."
Unfortunately, I apparently said this aloud, if just barely, and his hearing was sharper than one would expect, given his other attributes. ~ Patrice Kindl
Althea quotes by Patrice Kindl
There's no need to make a big deal out of it," said Milo, but Glen was already moving towards the front door.
"I need to walk," he said. "I need to... I need to be free!"
And then he was gone, the door swinging closed behind him.
"What a dramatic young man," said Althea. ~ Derek Landy
Althea quotes by Derek Landy
You know your duty and you are doing it. It isn't your fault if Althea can't appreciate that. ~ Robin Hobb
Althea quotes by Robin Hobb
Winning once can be a fluke; winning twice proves you are the best. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
Most of us who aspire to be tops in our fields don't really consider the amount of work required to stay tops. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
A moment of panic washed over her. There was so little time, it might even now be too late to shape them. Look at her own daughters. Keffria, who only wanted someone to tell her what to do, and Althea, who only desired that she do her own will always."
p. 429 ~ Robin Hobb
Althea quotes by Robin Hobb
I never thought that gay boys would be so dramatic about romance. And sooooo in denial. You wouldn't recognize common sense if it came up to you, bit you in the ass, and called you Sally. ~ Althea ~ Hayden Thorne
Althea quotes by Hayden Thorne
The truth hurts, sometimes, I suppose. But that doesn`t mean it shouldn`t be known. ~ Trisha Leigh
Althea quotes by Trisha Leigh
I hope that I have accomplished just one thing: that I have been a credit to tennis and my country. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
Quoting Althea Warren, librarians should "read as a drunkard drinks, or as a bird sings or a cat sleeps or a dog responds to an invitation to go walking, not from conscience or training, but because they'd rather do it than anything else in the world. ~ Susan Orlean
Althea quotes by Susan Orlean
I was nervous and confident at the same, nervous about going out there in front of all those people, with so much at stake, and confident that I was going to go out there and win. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
It seemed to Lady Althea, as she stood there above the steps, that all the people pressing forward were staring, not at the Dome of Rock, but at her alone, and were nudging on another, whispering, smiling; for she knew, from her own experience of mocking others, that there is nothing more likely to unite a crowd of strangers in a wave of laughter than the sight of someone who, with dignity shattered, becomes suddenly grotesque. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Althea quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Althea was certain that they were both boys, because they were both so fierce and strong-willed, even while inside the womb. ~ Emigh Cannaday
Althea quotes by Emigh Cannaday
From 143rd Street in Harlem to the center court at Wimbledon is about as far as one can travel. ~ Althea Gibson
Althea quotes by Althea Gibson
I think I've already got the main thing I've always wanted, which is to be somebody, to have an identify. I'm Althea Gibson, the tennis champion. I hope it makes me happy. ~ Althea Gibson
