Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or buchman:

    “I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want!... I can’t imagine that I would have to lead the same sort of life as Mummy ... and all the women who do their work and are then forgotten. I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!”
    —Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    “It’s a funny thing about men, you know. They all start life being boys. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these senators were boys once.”
    —Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
