Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “For such despite they cast on female wits:
    If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
    They’ll say it’s stol’n, or else it was by chance.”
    —Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

    “We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.”
    —Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
