Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “The sun, the hero of every day, the impersonal old man that beams as brightly on death as on birth, came up every morning and raced across the blue dome and dipped into the sea of fire every evening. Water ran down hill and birds nested.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “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)

    “She ran down the stair
    A twelve-year-old darling
    And laughing and calling
    She tossed her bright hair;”
    —John Streeter Manifold (b. 1915)
