Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or casting:

    “In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
    —George Grosz (1893–1959)

    “For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
