Frank Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or defeated:

“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)

“The poet is he who fights on the passionate
Side and whoever loses he wins; when he
Is defeated it is hard to say who wins....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
