Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “Imagining that I could
    A greater with a lesser pang assuage
    Or but to find if withered vein ran blood,
    I tore my body that its wine might cover
    Whatever could recall the lip of lover.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)

    “Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
