Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive—besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “... stars that marked
    those in whose faces
    you had not
    looked. ‘They were cast out
    as if they were
    some animals, some beasts.’”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
