Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “Forgetting: that is a divine capacity. And whoever aspires to the heights and wants to fly must cast off much that is heavy and make himself light—I call it a divine capacity for lightness.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The Puritan through Life’s sweet garden goes
    To pluck the thorn and cast away the rose.”
    —Kenneth Hare (1888–1962)

    “The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
