Famous quotes containing the word drama:

    It’s hard enough to write a good drama, it’s much harder to write a good comedy, and it’s hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
    Jack Lemmon (b. 1925)

    The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
    Minna Antrim (b. 1861)
