Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or perry:
“I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“As Ah Ling would say, “Even though the eyes may see, the mind will not believe.””
—Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Arthur Perry (Bela Lugosi)
