Famous quotes containing the words guy and/or chapman:

    All my brothers, my brothers-in-law, they’re always telling me what a good-hearted guy I am. You don’t get to be good-hearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you get to be a real professor of pain.
    Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    And let a scholar all earth’s volumes carry,
    He will be but a walking dictionary:
    A mere articulate clock.
    —George Chapman (1559–1634)
