Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.”
    —Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

    “yet it seems
    Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind,
    Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams,
    But the torn petals strew the garden plot;
    And there’s but common greenness after that.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
