Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    indolence read as abnegation,
    slattern thought styled intuition,
    every lapse forgiven, our crime
    only to cast too bold a shadow
    or smash the mold straight off.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    If one does not cast a big net, one cannot catch big fish.
    Chinese proverb.

    Yourself a newborn bard of the Holy Ghost, cast behind you all conformity, and acquaint men at first hand with Deity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
