Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it wont advance,
Theyll say its stoln, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 16121672)
“... stars that marked
those in whose faces
you had not
looked. They were cast out
as if they were
some animals, some beasts.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
