Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“You may, or may not, have better child care instincts than your husband; but his can certainly be developed. If you don’t respect the natural parenting talents that each of you has, you may inadvertently cast the two of you into the skewed but complementary roles of the Expert and the Dumb Apprentice.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“Yourself a newborn bard of the Holy Ghost, cast behind you all conformity, and acquaint men at first hand with Deity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
