Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “Forgetting: that is a divine capacity. And whoever aspires to the heights and wants to fly must cast off much that is heavy and make himself light—I call it a divine capacity for lightness.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

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

    “All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
