Famous quotes containing the words casting and/or history:

    “For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    “In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
