Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    “It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.”
    —Eleanore Kendall Pettersen (b. 1916)

    “You have overcome yourself: but why do you show yourself to me only as the one overcome? I want to see the victor: cast roses into the abyss and say, “Here is my thanks to the monster, because it didn’t know how to swallow me!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
