Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “Cassius is aweary of the world:
    Hated by one he loves; braved by his brother;
    Checked like a bondman; all his faults observed,
    Set in a notebook, learned and conned by rote
    To cast into my teeth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “You may, or may not, have better child care instincts than your husband; but his can certainly be developed. If you don’t respect the natural parenting talents that each of you has, you may inadvertently cast the two of you into the skewed but complementary roles of the Expert and the Dumb Apprentice.”
    —Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    “Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)
