Famous quotes containing the words special and/or drama:

    ‘I mean to retire, where
    Nobody will have heard about my special skills
    And conversation is mainly about the wearther.
    —Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin (b.1942)

    I had this advantage, at least, in my mode of life, over those who were obliged to look abroad for amusement, to society and the theatre, that my life itself was become my amusement and never ceased to be novel. It was a drama of many scenes and without an end.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
