Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “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)

    “O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
    And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
    Before this strange disease of modern life,
    With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
    Its head o’ertaxed, its palsied hearts, was rife—”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

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