Runs

Famous quotes containing the word runs:

“Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them. They are not even now as concerned about the health of their fame as men are, and, speaking generally, will pass a tombstone or a signpost without feeling an irresistible desire to cut their names on it.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“The blood is moral: the blood is anti-slavery: it runs cold in the veins: the stomach rises with disgust, and curses slavery.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.”
—Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
