Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alivebesides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“... stars that marked
those in whose faces
you had not
looked. They were cast out
as if they were
some animals, some beasts.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“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 (15641616)
