Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “But first Elpenor came, our friend Elpenor,
    Unburied, cast on the wide earth,
    Limbs that we left in the house of Circe,
    Unwept, unwrapped in sepulchre, since toils urged other.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
