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 (15641616)
“I cast my heart into my rhymes,
That you, in the dim coming times,
May know how my heart went with them
After the red-rose-bordered hem.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleasd he could whistle them back.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (17281774)
