Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “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)

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

    “I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can’t say—I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
