Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “Among the interesting thing in camp are the boys. You recollect the boy in Captain McIlrath’s company; we have another like unto him in Captain Woodward’s. He ran away from Norwalk to Camp Dennison; went into the Fifth, then into the Guthries, and as we passed their camp, he was pleased with us, and now is “a boy of the Twenty-third.” He drills, plays officer, soldier, or errand boy, and is a curiosity in camp.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Parked, at last,
    on a dime that would never last,
    I ran through the airport.
    Wild for love, I ran through the airport,
    stockings and skirts and dollars.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
