Famous quotes containing the word drama:
“The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.”
—Minna Antrim (b. 1861)
“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
