Examples of wasteland in a Sentence

1. Anthon St Maarten:

   We have created a manic world nauseous with the pursuit of material wealth. Many also bear their cross of imagined deprivation, while their fellow human beings remain paralyzed by real poverty. We drown in the thick sweetness of our sensual excess, and our shameless opulence, while our discontent souls suffocate in the arid wasteland of spiritual deprivation.

2. Simone Borelli:

   I think a good case in point is Seoul, in South Korea -- they actually took out an entire motorway (in the city center) and put the river in there with trees and plants, in Manila, they are establishing miniature parks wherever they can -- crossroads, along the railway, old industrial areas -- there's a lot of urban space that is wasteland, so there are areas that can be converted.

3. Deshawn Yeldell:

   This world probably sees me as broken and a so-so worthless rejected lifeless tree in a lost wasteland, looked at as many-many hopelessness’s, In God’s eyes, I appeared as this golden tree of life, only the ones free from blindness can see my true reality. -MillYentei D.Y.

4. Benjamin Weiss:

   The most surprising thing that's come out of these images is the potential opportunity to catch the time when Jezero Crater transitioned from an Earth-like habitable environment, to this desolate landscape wasteland we see now, these boulder beds may be records of this transition, and we haven't seen this in other places on Mars.

5. Director George Miller:

   I'm just not recovered enough to get into it, but you know these characters live in your head and we've got a lot of back stories and if we have time again to go out into the wasteland there are other films we will want to do. Yes, so that's the answer I can give at this moment now -- I've just come out of labour.
