Famous quotes containing the word belongs:
“In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn’t know art, just as it doesn’t know freedom, just as it doesn’t know goodness.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“Gee, boy, when you sing, I can close my ears
And hear tom-toms just as plain.
Listen to me, will you, what do I know
About tom-toms? But I like the word, sort of,
Don’t you? It belongs to us.”
—Helene Johnson (b. 1907)
“The word snob belongs to the sour-grape vocabulary.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
