Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    The statue of Freedom has not been cast yet, the furnace is hot, we can all still burn our fingers.
    Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    indolence read as abnegation,
    slattern thought styled intuition,
    every lapse forgiven, our crime
    only to cast too bold a shadow
    or smash the mold straight off.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Yourself a newborn bard of the Holy Ghost, cast behind you all conformity, and acquaint men at first hand with Deity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
