Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    ““what has cast such a shadow upon you” “The negro.””
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
    within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
    health of my countenance, and my God.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm XLII (l. XLII, 11)

    “It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.”
    —Eleanore Kendall Pettersen (b. 1916)
