Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or chapman:
“I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want!...

I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
