Famous quotes containing the words cast of, cast and/or characters:

    Let the wheel spin out,
    Till all created things
    With shout and answering shout
    Cast off rememberings....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
