How to use drama in a sentence?

  1. George Salmon:

    There are enough sub-plots in the race to acquire Sky to commission a prime-time drama, fox coming back in for Sky isn't a surprise in itself, but the fact the offer is slightly behind what some had anticipated brings another twist. In fact, there's every chance it might entice another counter from Comcast.

  2. Flannery O'Connor:

    Where there is no belief in the soul, there is very little drama . . . . Either one is serious about salvation or one is not. And it is well to realize that the maximum amount of seriousness admits the maximum amount of comedy. Only if we are secure in our beliefs can we see the comical side of the universe.

  3. Brian Cox:

    You can't underestimate Logan in any shape or form because he's an extraordinary animal, logan, you know, there aren't very many characters like him in drama. We haven't seen them. Because he's relentless. He doesn't seem to take any prisoners. That's the joy of playing him.

  4. Edwin Markham:

    The few little years we spend on earth are only the first scene in a Divine Drama that extends into Eternity.

  5. Richard Gowan:

    What I sense now is a very large number of U.N. members, and not only European members, really feel that this is highlighting some fundamental dysfunctions and some fundamental anachronisms in how the U.N. works and when hopefully the immediate drama of the war is over, we’re going to hear a lot of talk about U.N. reform, although I don't know what that will really deliver at the end of the day.
