Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “What is the use of “good” painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “The statue of Freedom has not been cast yet, the furnace is hot, we can all still burn our fingers.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    “For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
