Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or casts:
“At a stage when young people want more than anything to be like everyone else, they find themselves the least alike. Everyone their age is growing and changing, but each at his or her own pace.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Christ follows Dionysus,
Phallic and ambrosial
Made way for macerations;
Caliban casts out Ariel.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
