Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “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)

    “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)

    “I would rather not see such winds subside, which carry your slow ship away, although they leave me, cast down, on an empty shore, often, with clenched hand, calling you cruel.”
    —Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
