Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “You have overcome yourself: but why do you show yourself to me only as the one overcome? I want to see the victor: cast roses into the abyss and say, “Here is my thanks to the monster, because it didn’t know how to swallow me!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    ““The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life!” And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)

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