Famous quotes containing the word casts:
“Man tells his aspiration in his God; but in his demon he shows his depth of experience; and casts light into the cavern through which he worked his cause up to the cheerful day.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
“Man flows at once to God when the channel of purity is open. By turns our purity inspires and our impurity casts us down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The genius is a genius by the first look he casts on any object. Is his eye creative? Does he not rest in angles and colors, but beholds the design,—he will presently undervalue the actual object.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
