Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.”
—Bible: Hebrew (KJ)
“indolence read as abnegation,
slattern thought styled intuition,
every lapse forgiven, our crime
only to cast too bold a shadow
or smash the mold straight off.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
