Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or casts:
“Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.”
—André Maurois (18851967)
“Christ follows Dionysus,
Phallic and ambrosial
Made way for macerations;
Caliban casts out Ariel.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
