Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “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)

    “Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.”
    —Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
