Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death. ... “Who controls the past,” ran the Party slogan,”controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.””
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “The mountain stood there to be pointed at.
    Pasture ran up the side a little way,
    And then there was a wall of trees with trunks;
    After that only tops of trees, and cliffs
    Imperfectly concealed among the leaves.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Who ran to help me when I fell,
    And would some pretty story tell,
    Or kiss the place to make it well?
    My mother.”
    —Ann Taylor (1782–1866)
