Famous quotes containing the word cast:
““what has cast such a shadow upon you” “The negro.””
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.”
—Eleanore Kendall Pettersen (b. 1916)
