Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “Cassius is aweary of the world:
    Hated by one he loves; braved by his brother;
    Checked like a bondman; all his faults observed,
    Set in a notebook, learned and conned by rote
    To cast into my teeth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)
