Famous quotes containing the word belongs:
“Reason is man’s faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man’s ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man’s instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man’s instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Peg: Who are you?
Alice: I’m nobody.
Peg: Oh now, don’t sulk. We’re all nobody. “Nobody” is anybody who belongs to somebody. So if you belong to nobody, you’re somebody. Understand?”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“Maybe it’s like Casey says. A fellow ain’t got a soul of his own. Just a little piece of a big soul. The one big soul that belongs to everybody.”
—Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
