Famous quotes containing the words body and/or cast:
“Echoes are dull and the body accepts no touch
Except its pain. Mind is a little isle.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“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)
