Belongs

Famous quotes containing the word belongs:

    A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes; it is the life of another that we revere within us; then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    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)

    I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
    And what I assume you shall assume,
    For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
