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)

    “He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
    For he knew when he pleas’d he could whistle them back.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    ““The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life!” And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
