I think I can get a little passionate about things that I believe in and maybe that can be a little intense for people. And I think a lot of that stuff comes out of the need of wanting to belong, and being insecure and uncomfortable.
Liza Weil
I don’t belong to any social network, and I don’t even message much. In fact, most of the time, I don’t even use my mobile phone.
Nithya Menen
Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can’t be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution.
Stephen Hawking
Slavery is something that is all too often swept under the carpet. The shame doesn’t even belong to us, but we still experience it because we’re a part of the African race. If it happened to one, it happened to all. We carry that burden.
Lupita Nyong’o
I just umpire. That’s what I’ve done. That’s all I can do. I’m one of the fortunate ones on God’s earth. I found what God meant for me to do. People ask if I like working home plate best. I just want to be between the white lines. That’s where I belong, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Doug Harvey
Growing up in the States, there’s this part of me that’s like, man, I’m Indian. Like, this is where I belong. And as soon as I got to India, and I had to go to the bathroom in some places, I was, like, ‘Man – I am American.’
Hasan Minhaj
When I was put up as a candidate for this, I was a political person. But after becoming the president, I become non-political, a-political, because president does not then belong to any political party.
Pratibha Patil
To have drunkards, idiots, horse-racing, rumselling rowdies, ignorant foreigners, and silly boys fully recognized, while we ourselves are thrust out from all the rights that belong to citizens, it is too grossly insulting to… be longer quietly submitted to.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The thing about me and school was that as much as I felt that I didn’t belong, as long as I was on a stage or dancing, that’s where I excelled the most, felt worthy.
Wilson Cruz
My own special knowledge is about the Abenaki people and, to some degree, my Iroquois neighbors. But whenever I write anything about another tribal nation, I always get a lot of help. Not just from books, but from people who belong to that tribal nation.
Joseph Bruchac
I think the ‘New York Times’ reviews overall tend to overlook popular fiction, whether you’re a man, woman, white, black, purple or pink. I think there are a lot of readers who would like to see reviews that belong in the range of commercial fiction.
Jodi Picoult
Back before the Kuiper Belt was discovered, Pluto did look like a misfit that didn’t belong with either the terrestrials or the giant planets.
Alan Stern
I belong to a highly religious family. Both my mother and father perform fasting, do shrads and completely believe in Ganpati. This has influenced me and that is why even I am so religious.
Rakhi Sawant
At our computer club, we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone, and give us power, and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff.
Steve Wozniak
Being Irish means you belong to the clan. It’s what you feel. They feel Irish.
Martin Naughton
For us to become a nation, everyone – including Arabs, Druze, ultra-Orthodox and new immigrants – must feel that they belong. Their success is extremely important to us. If they succeed, they will come to understand the advantages of democracy and freedom.
Stef Wertheimer
If you’re part of the Network Generation, you don’t have to belong just to one nation. Dual identities come easily to these dual screeners. They fear a separate Scotland would be a narrowing, not a broadening, experience.
Douglas Alexander
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran
I’m not a big fan of shooting something that looks like it could belong in any movie. I’m not a fan of, okay, ‘wide shot, wide shot, medium shot, close-up, close-up – we’ll figure it out in post.’ I hate that.
Justin Simien
I want to be president because I have the sensitivity, as a woman, to listen. I’m a different candidate… different because I don’t belong to powerful, privileged groups, because I’m honest.
Josefina Vazquez Mota
It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn’t belong.
Don Bluth
The great men of power who seek to change the nations they belong to usually are pretty terrible people.
John Keegan
I never felt like I belong to anything – to any groups of friends. I never really had that.
Michael McIntyre
Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.
Jock Sturges
When people are struggling, that’s a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.
Gaby Hoffmann
The art, the greatness of the music, the experience of the music is what I’m about. I think most African artists have destroyed their artistry by commercialization, and I don’t want to belong to that bag.
Fela Kuti
The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people’s obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.
Dionne Warwick
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness – the sense that is where we really belong.
Graham Greene
I feel most at home in the water. I disappear. That’s where I belong.
Michael Phelps
Every culture has contributed to maths just as it has contributed to literature. It’s a universal language; numbers belong to everyone.
Daniel Tammet
There is a moral underpinning to economics. And the kin

There is a moral underpinning to economics. And the kinds of questions that it asks and the kinds of solutions it proposes do seem to me to belong in a more humanistic framework.
John Lanchester
Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.
Pope Francis
Just having the pain of being alive without anything else, whether it’s good or bad. There’s a lot of serious songs on the record, you know. That song is just about feeling like a fish out of water, feeling like you don’t belong on the planet sometimes.
Jon Crosby
I’ll go out there and prove to everybody that I belong to the Cup Series.
Bubba Wallace
U.P. is where I belong to, I was born in Meerut, so whenever I come here, I’m reminded of my childhood.
Boney Kapoor
I believe I’ll see the reunification of North and South Korea in my lifetime and that defectors should play a role in rebuilding the country. In the long run, I want to return to North Korea, because that’s where I belong.
Lee Hyeon-seo
We have to reappropriate the concept of laicite (secularism) so we can explain to our young pupils that whatever their faith, they belong to this idea, and they’re not excluded. Secularism is not something against them; it protects them.
Najat Vallaud-Belkacem
I want my kids to be curious, to be interested in a lot of things, to be confident, and to feel they belong in any number of situations.
Deborah Norville
I’ve got to work harder and smarter to get to the place where I truly belong.
Sherlyn Chopra
You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn’t belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don’t think it’s fair.
Juan Marichal
I don’t care about being a literary personality – that doesn’t appeal to me, especially because the literary world doesn’t appeal to me. I actually don’t feel like I even belong in it. If this was high school, I would be sitting with the Goths, looking at everyone, being like, ‘Whatever.’
Ottessa Moshfegh
I belong to the political party that generally fits my philosophical beliefs, but I reserve the right to vote my conscience after careful deliberation. My voting record reflects this.
Jeff Fortenberry
Stills belong in the lobby, not on the screen.
William Wyler
For me racism doesn’t belong to football and it doesn’t belong in our society any more.
Jay-Jay Okocha
Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in, and they essentially say they want to belong. It’s incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you’re formulating who you are. We’ve seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it’s very unfortunate.
Leonardo DiCaprio
True conservation provides for wise use by the general public. The American people do not want our resources preserved for the exclusive use of the wealthy. These land and water resources belong to the people, and people of all income levels should have easy access to them.
George Aiken
I admire someone like Beyonce. She has amazing commitment. I needed to accept that I probably did not fit into that forum. Doing that ‘The Cherry Thing’ record was a big part of finding that place where I belong, where I may shine, but I never doubted it was there.
Neneh Cherry
Those who belong to the film families may have a certain advantage, but nobody can keep you in this business if you don’t deserve it.
Soni Razdan
Every win that I’ve been going through, it’s been securing anyone’s doubts or even my own doubts about whether I belong with these guys, playing these high-level tournaments.
Denis Shapovalov
I don’t belong to any clubs, and I dislike club mentality of any kind, even feminism – although I do relate to the purpose and point of feminism. More in the work of older feminists, really, like Germaine Greer.
Jane Campion
The revenues of Cuban state-run companies are used exclusively for the benefit of the people, to whom they belong.
Fidel Castro
I don’t belong to the straights now – they didn’t get me back.
Anne Heche
I am sure it will be mentioned and debated but from my standpoint I know who is in the Hall of Fame. A lot of them don’t belong in the Hall of Fame. If someone wants to debate me, check the stats.
Gary Sheffield
You need not go back four thousand years for heroines. The world is filled with them today. They do not belong to any nation, nor to any religion, nor exclusively to any race. Wherever woman is found, they are found.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
Huma has made her mark in the industry with films like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana.’ I am happy for what she has achieved today because we belong to a non-film background.
Saqib Saleem
I don’t belong to any religions, I really belong to God.
Akiane Kramarik
Kids have to experiment a little or figure out where they belong.
Catherine Hardwicke
With a game, you’re only one part of a team, and what emerges at launch is very much the culmination of the whole team’s efforts. You can be proud of playing your part, but it doesn’t ever belong to you.
Richard K. Morgan
I was one of those players that had to come in and prove that I can belong on this field with these girls, and I can hang in this league as well.
Jessica McDonald
For a long time I was free. I didn’t belong to any type of studio, or any company. I kept a sort of freedom and a light touch.
Takashi Miike
We should not look at terrorism from the nameplates - w

We should not look at terrorism from the nameplates – which group they belong to, what is their geographical location, who are the victims. These individual groups or names will keep changing.
Narendra Modi
Titles are important; I have them before I have books that belong to them. I have last chapters in my mind before I see first chapters, too. I usually begin with endings, with a sense of aftermath, of dust settling, of epilogue.
John Irving
Praying in Jesus’ name makes the distinction that all glory and honor belong to Christ, who is one with God the Father.
Monica Johnson
I think, probably, the place that I feel I most belong is a movie set.
Anya Taylor-Joy
I don’t really feel like I belong anywhere, which makes me belong everywhere.
Anya Taylor-Joy
I want to go back to play in the Premier League. I feel it’s where I belong.
Neil Etheridge
It’s always been a great survival value for people to believe they belong to a superior tribe. That’s just in human relationships.
E. O. Wilson
There are times when you fall in love with a person, and feel like you belong with him or her. But if it doesn’t work out, you need to step out of it.
Sara Khan
It’s a privilege to serve the poor, to be servants of noble Africans, but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That’s where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head.
Bono
You know that Yogi and Huckleberry didn’t just belong to the kids. Grownups know all about our animal friends.
William Hanna
To have come of age during and after the global financial crisis of 2008 is to belong to a generation often unable to do what an American could once expect, and to do what was once expected: Get a job, pay off student loans, and find a place of your own.
Anand Giridharadas
Everyone desires relationships and community. Most people want to belong to a cohesive, like-minded group. It staves off loneliness. It promotes identity. These are natural and very human instincts.
Joshua Ferris
I am a Christian. My husband and I belong to the Episcopal Church.
Sandy Adams
Solitary decisions, no matter how well-founded they may appear to individuals, must belong to the past – along with national, unilateralist action.
Helmut Kohl
I’ve been kind of a journeyman. My five-year stint at TNA. My short cup of coffee in WWE. The last eight-and-a-half years in Japan. I wanted to prove to the world that I absolutely belong as a singles competiton.
Lance Archer
When I came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that I ever felt like I belong somewhere. Not because it was wacky, but because people here understood what I felt like to perform, and there were other kids my age who wanted to do it. I didn’t get looked at as God, you freak.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
I’m very confident on where I stand in the league and where I belong.
Greg Olsen
If I belong to a tradition, it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed.
Alfred Brendel
I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.
Frederick Douglass
Many people find their calling very early in their lives. These are the kind of people we read about in school books and newspapers. Then there are some who don’t have a clue of what they want to do in their lives; I am belong to the latter category.
Dhanush
Employers should not be able to impose their religious beliefs on female employees, ignoring their individual health decisions and denying their right to reproductive care. Bosses belong in the boardroom, not in the bedroom.
Dina Titus
I do belong to the club which doesn’t see a distinction between academic history and popular history.
Norman Davies
Some people are uncomfortable with the idea that humans belong to the same class of animals as cats and cows and raccoons. They’re like the people who become successful and then don’t want to be reminded of the old neighborhood.
Phil Donahue
When we become a really mature, grown-up, wise society, we will put teachers at the center of the community, where they belong. We don’t honor them enough, we don’t pay them enough.
Charles Kuralt
I don’t want to belong to any league. I am in a league of my own. I don’t want any tags associated with me because I know when the media associates tags with you, they also have the power to remove those tags tomorrow.
Emraan Hashmi
UNC symbolizes something special. When you get chills you know you belong here.
Lorrie Fair
Whites, like ourselves, belong to our country. They are compatriots, fellow citizens… we see them as Africans.
Oliver Tambo
Creeds and castes, and all forms of intellectual and emotional grouping, belong to the past.
Herbert Read
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
Vladimir Lenin
Science should belong to scientists and not the publishers.
Alexandra Elbakyan
If the Loki in ‘Thor’ was about a spiritual confusion – ‘Who am I? How do I belong in this world?’ – the Loki in ‘Avengers’ is, ‘I know exactly who I am, and I’m going to make this world belong to me.’
Tom Hiddleston
Films made by women belong to the history of cinema; it

Films made by women belong to the history of cinema; it’s just that we get erased pretty quickly.
Celine Sciamma
If I win, I make a statement, and if I lose, I made a statement, too. Either way, it’s going to let everyone know where I belong. But I’ll tell you, I never believe I’m going to lose a fight.
Anthony Johnson
I took a job at the Walt Disney Company and after 18 months decided to go to business school at Harvard. I was awestruck by the campus. My first reaction was ‘I don’t belong here.’ Then I said, ‘I’m here; let’s get on with it.’
Jason Kilar
By no means did my first book sell. I took a few runs at it. You’ll never see those early efforts ’cause they’re burned, straight to the fireplace where they belong.
Marcia Clark
I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.
Lawrence Durrell
Whether you’re in year one or you’re in year 12, every day you’ve got to show up with a willingness to compete and to prove that you belong there and a willingness to get better and listen to coaching.
Jason McCourty
I belong to a middle class family from Bhopal. My father was fearless.
Jaya Bachchan
I have strong differences with Mr. Trump on a woman’s right to choose and what kind of justices belong on the Supreme Court.
Raja Krishnamoorthi
We become like the five people we spend most of our time with; Oh, we’ve got to be picky, and you might have to fire a few people who don’t belong in that inner circle because they can’t help you be your best and further your purpose.
Harris Faulkner
It’s fun to dress up and look good. And it’s fun to try on clothes and wear a different jacket every night. It also helps you on stage to feel like you belong there.
Matthew Ramsey
It’s simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they’re done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it’s what they see. That’s where my head is at.
Denzel Washington
We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.
Aldo Leopold
Batman’s not mine. He doesn’t necessarily belong to me. As a character, he belongs first to the audience and second to the hundreds of writers who have been writing him in comics for 75 years.
Tom King
It is in many circumstances a troubling thing to belong to the advanced class of a backward nation. One surrenders coherence and begins a difficult process of choice which ends, often, in an eclectic idiosyncrasy.
George W. S. Trow
I think everything belongs in a certain place, for kids who feel they don’t belong anywhere. A museum is an institution like a library where everything has a place, everything belongs.
Brian Selznick
With families, no matter what kind you inherit, at some point you want to announce that you belong to it.
Kaui Hart Hemmings
I don’t like the collusion between high fashion design and high street. You have to know where you stand. I belong to luxury fashion. That’s what I’ve always felt and embraced. I like the best quality, the best fabrics and the most creative field in fashion. I will stay consistent. I belong to this world.
Hedi Slimane
I have a wonderful shelter, which is my family. I have a wonderful relationship with my brother and sister; this makes me feel that I know always where I belong.
Jose Carreras
Gang violence in America is not a sudden problem. It has been a part of urban life for years, offering an aggressive definition and identity to those seeking a place to belong in the chaos of large metropolitan areas.
Dave Reichert
The first condition of marriage between a man and a woman is that both must belong to each other totally.
Munshi Premchand
A mother deserves a day off to care for a sick child or sick parent without running into hardship – and you know what, a father does, too. It’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a ‘Mad Men’ episode.
Barack Obama
This is why I belong, and why I believe. I commend to all this same search for happiness and for the truth.
Clayton M. Christensen
Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.
Henry Clay
I have two paintings that used to belong to my grandmother, who lived in Chicago. When I was young, I used to sleep over at her house. They came to me when she passed away. I remember looking at them when I was a girl, and now, every time I see them, I feel good.
Marisol Nichols
When I go to parties, there’s a moment when I think, ‘I really don’t belong here.’
Cheri Oteri
I hope that I can be an inspiration to kids that are young and may feel different or may feel like they don’t belong.
Jonathan Knight
Whenever someone forces me to do something against my will, they’re infringing upon my freedoms and my liberties. And that’s what I think we’re doing in Maine when we have fair share, which means that you are required to belong to a union, you’re required to pay dues, but you don’t want to participate.
Paul LePage
The police belongs to the people and the people belong to the police.
Todor Zhivkov
We are not our own. We do not belong to ourselves. But we have been purchased with a dear price. We have cost an immense sum, even the sufferings and death of the Son of God.
Ellen G. White
Poems, novels – these things belong to the nation, to the culture, and the people.
Joseph Brodsky
I remember lying out in my bed and looking at the vast, quiet sky. Right up above my head, there were three stars in a row, and I remember thinking, ‘Well, I’ll have those three stars all my life, and wherever I am, they will be. They are my stars, and they belong to me.’
Spike Milligan
This is the positive way of seeing the modern Jewish di

This is the positive way of seeing the modern Jewish dilemma: I am from everywhere. The negative way is no matter where you go, you find out that you’re a victim, that you’re unwanted and don’t belong.
Tom Reiss
Christmas music is usually more concentrated pop music in a way. It’s meant to make us feel good, and it’s meant to make us like we belong somewhere.
Jens Lekman
Money has no religion. Money does not belong to any class or creed. Neither it belongs to a gender nor an age. Money decides fate. Money also decides status. Money buys you food and money buys a basic necessity like water too.
Shweta Basu Prasad
I was a very good nurse, but I burned out after eight years or so because it wasn’t what I truly wanted to do. Writing is what I belong to.
Sue Monk Kidd
I never learned to cook, so I’ve got no rules. I’ll put things together just because I think they belong together.
Jack Monroe
I don’t belong to anyone.
Manolo Blahnik
The idea that humanity is divided into these separate and distinct and disparate groups with clear boundaries has been disproven by science a long time ago, decades ago. Humanity really is more of a continuum, and that people belong on the same continuum and there are no clear breaks between these so-called races.
Alex Tizon
I didn’t belong to the sort of family where the children’s classics were laid on. I went to the public library and read everything I could get my hands on.
Pat Barker
When you’re a guest star on a movie or a TV show, I always say it’s like being invited to a family reunion, but it’s not your family. So you don’t belong – they’re being nice to you, but you don’t fit in completely; you don’t know everybody’s story. You don’t have a history.
Ato Essandoh
I belong in the ring.
Sami Zayn
In this society, you have to belong to something, I feel, and all we have in the neighborhood is a gang.
Richard Cabral
The earth and its resources belong of right to its people.
Gifford Pinchot
Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.
Billy Corgan
As a singer, I’ve been criticized for sounding feminine. They say I don’t belong in any category, male or female, pop or jazz. But early on, I saw my suffering as my salvation.
Jimmy Scott
There are so many opportunities where people are thirsting: young people who are preparing for Confirmation, young adults who are searching, people of every age. There’s a great thirst, I think, of people to come to understand and to belong to the Church of Christ.
Joseph Edward Kurtz
I am one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans. I still listen to that stuff incessantly. Laura Nyro does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriter Hall of Fame? Absolutely.
Paul Stanley
Right now I belong to the wonderful organization called The Children’s Action Network. The first thing we did was immunize 200,000 children across the country against childhood diseases.
Henry Winkler
My identity was a big issue when I was a teenager, and I had a lot of questions, like: ‘Who am I?’ ‘Who do I belong to?’ But when I was still quite young, I decided that belonging is a tough process in life, and I’d better say I belonged to myself and the world rather than belonging to one nationality or another.
Hiam Abbass
In view of the meaning given to this honor in the community to which I belong, I should abstain from the undeserved prize that has been awarded to me. Do not meet my voluntary refusal with ill will.
Boris Pasternak
The institutions of the European Union, and the states that belong to this union, each and every one, are paying the price of our failures, hesitations and contradictions. We should each ask ourselves how personally responsible we are.
Giorgio Napolitano
There’s a compelling reason why I belong in the Hall of Fame, but I understand the argument against me. My career didn’t go like most, and I’m 100 percent fine with that because that’s what resonates with people.
Kurt Warner
I’m living in California but I have a place that is mine in Chile and I belong there. I am no longer an exile.
Isabel Allende
I’ve changed Sydney. It’s my city, my people. I’m theirs. We belong to each other.
Harry Triguboff
Zombies are apocalyptic in nature. They belong to a class of monster that doesn’t just hunt humans, but seeks to obliterate that entire human race.
Max Brooks
I want my children to be proud of their father and to say, ‘My father is the best dad in the world.’ And I want them to belong to a modern family, and live a path of happiness and calm.
Ricky Martin
Covering a historic event is perfectly legitimate. It’s not sneaking into somebody’s boudoir… These people belong to history, and not to record that if you have the opportunity would be wrong.
Elliott Erwitt
We cannot go alone to God. We belong to His Mystical Body, the Church; by even our most secret sins, if they be grievous, we have injured the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ and must ask forgiveness of His Mystical Body, too.
Vincent McNabb
Now I belong to this fantastic group called The London Writers Salon, which runs Monday to Friday with sessions in London, New York and L.A. and you can log in to them all and basically write in the company of 300 other people, with nobody chatting.
Lesley Sharp
The Earth does not belong to us: we belong to the Earth.
Chief Seattle
The arts don’t care what your background is. They belong to everyone.
Adrian Dunbar
Gender and sex are about rules which we have invented, but we are animals; we belong to nature.
Alessandro Michele
Letting go helps us to to live in a more peaceful state

Letting go helps us to to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.
Melody Beattie
To the totality of purposes of the perfect Law there belong the abandonment, depreciation, and restraint of desires in so far as possible.
Maimonides
Introductions, that is, belong to the masterpieces and classics of the world, to the great and ancient and accepted things; and I am here introducing a short, small story of my own which appeared in The Evening News about ten months ago.
Arthur Machen
I just love that whole Brill Building era. I will always regret not being there. That’s where I belong.
Steven Van Zandt
I just can’t belong to a genre, because I don’t know what I would want it to be.
Santan Dave
When a show starts out, you’re immediately trying to identify your goodies and baddies, and trying to place people in your mind where you think they belong.
Chris Sullivan
I’m a Taurus, you know. A bull. I belong in a field.
Matt Roper
I belong to this family: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s family. Since my childhood I have always wanted to sing and learn music. Whenever I saw Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan play, I felt inspired to be like him.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
People can hate on you for doing what it is that makes you happy, but ultimately, it has to belong to you. It shouldn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Life is not easy. The road to happiness is not a path well trotted. You have to find your own path to enlightenment.
Jamie Campbell Bower
I don’t program, so I don’t belong in Silicon Valley. If I did belong in Silicon Valley, I’d be there creating a revolutionary compression algorithm for billions of dollars.
Thomas Middleditch
The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.
Ronald Reagan
I might be a celebrity but I belong to the humble category.
Abhinav Shukla
Marine Le Pen belongs to her generation, I belong to mine. I got into politics for Marine Le Pen and with her as party leader.
Marion Marechal-Le Pen
I have an occasionally recurring stutter, but not when in character on stage in a play. Odd. James Earl Jones has the same pattern; he stutters in everyday life but not when acting. Preparation requires an actor’s concentration to make the words belong to another person, which is its own sort of trance.
John Casey
I see a lot of women of every age trying to be something else. I see them trying to imitate behaviors that they think belong to successful people.
Anne Sweeney
I belong to the breed of first-generation entrepreneurs who have basically created our enterprises with very frugal resources.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
I think luck falls on not just the brave but also the ones who believe they belong there.
Novak Djokovic
I would never belong to any club that excluded anybody for race.
Rand Paul
Early on in my career, I was often the only woman in the room, writing for shows like ‘Late Night with David Letterman,’ ‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Newhart,’ and ‘Coach,’ and sometimes I’d feel like I didn’t belong.
Nell Scovell
I don’t belong to a motorcycle club, but I know a lot of guys who do. I ride with some guys who do.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner
In Finland, where 80 percent of workers belong to unions, all employees enjoy at least 30 days paid vacation, and the gap between the rich and poor is far more equitable than in the United States.
Bernie Sanders
I never felt at home in London, because people were constantly telling me I didn’t belong here, so after a while, you tend to believe that.
Naveen Andrews
We all want to belong to something, and we all want to feel as though we have a legacy, and when you see two characters that have had that taken away from them, I think that just feels very real and very human.
Justin Kurzel
What you want is for music to love you back. That’s why you pay your dues. You want to feel like you belong and are part of this symbiosis, metamorphosis, whatever you want to call it.
Tom Waits
Fresh herbs really belong anywhere you put them.

Bites are usually not random attacks by strays. The great majority of biting dogs belong to a family member or friend of the victim. When a young child is the victim, the attack almost always occurs in the family home, and the perpetrator is usually a ‘good’ dog that had not previously behaved in a menacing way.
Jon Katz
The more I get connected to my own breath and my own yogic experience and my own prayer and my own idea, the ideas that have existed for so long – that we all belong to each other and we could live a deeper spiritual existence – the more I get connected to that, the more I shun this world.
Giancarlo Esposito
One of the greatest things that could really happen to Africa is for us to get rid of the borders and for the leadership not to think that the countries belong to them… We didn’t create the borders to start with.
Hugh Masekela
I want someone to be able to say, ‘I relate to this person on The Five.’ You feel like you belong. You kind of feel like it’s family. They feel like they know us because we reveal so much about ourselves on the show.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
Don’t let anyone call you a minority if you’re black or Hispanic or belong to some other ethnic group. You’re not less than anybody else.
Gwendolyn Brooks
I see how people look at me, all around the world. They see something because of the race I belong to. I have to understand that and put it into my music.
Jason Moran
I want to see the '70s guys, if they're gonna do someth

I want to see the ’70s guys, if they’re gonna do something, stay valid in the ’90s. Then they belong. If they’re trapped in the ’70s, then it’s nostalgia. You’re not getting me in those platform shoes again.
Dennis DeYoung
The pure air and dazzling snow belong to things beyond the reach of all personal feeling, almost beyond the reach of life. Yet such things are a part of our life, neither the least noble nor the most terrible.
Frederick Soddy
Rock & roll doesn’t belong on a grid. It belongs on a pulse – a natural pulse.
Linda Perry
Where is Germany now and where does it want to go? It’s a question being asked by our partners and allies abroad. We have to return – urgently – to our old dependability. We have to make clear for others what we stand for, where we’re headed, and that we know where we belong.
Helmut Kohl
My mom is my biggest inspiration by far. She inspires me on a daily basis. I remember hearing her sing around the house, and I was like, ‘Mom, you belong on TV. You’re a superstar.’
Khalid
Manute Bol was one of the guys who taught me to be bold. To be fierce. To speak intelligently, and speak like you belong.
Masai Ujiri
Earlier, I thought it would be better for an actress to marry a businessman or a person from other profession, as it offers more stability. But then I realised that if I marry someone who doesn’t belong to the same industry , he wouldn’t understand my erratic schedules and also the norms of the glamour industry.
Divyanka Tripathi
We need to start from a presupposition: namely, that there is no ‘better’ football and no ‘worse’ kind of football, just different styles and cultures that belong to each country.
Massimiliano Allegri
I always prided myself on being apart from the ruling class. I think it’s always important, not just in Washington but in life, to be able to able to balance your sense of belonging with what it’s like to be someone who doesn’t belong.
Mark Leibovich
I don’t have any regrets. I consider myself really privileged to belong to medicine and do what I do. I would do it all again.
Magdi Yacoub
As I didn’t belong from a filmy background, I didn’t know how to become an actor.
Nidhhi Agerwal
I don’t read a lot of books that were published after 1755. One thing about having friends in New York who belong to the literary world, however, is that I have a steady stream of books coming to the house.
John Jeremiah Sullivan
As they say around the Texas Legislature, if you can’t drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against ’em anyway, you don’t belong in office.
Molly Ivins
I seemed to belong to three countries: I had an apartment in Paris, a house in Hollywood, and when I married British theater director Peter Hall, I moved to London.
Leslie Caron
You sort of start to slowly earn more respect from the players. You have to get used to being there and know that you belong. Mentally, that’s one of the hardest parts.
Alex de Minaur
I have a big thing about needing to know that I belong – in my group of friends, in my family, in my industry.
Jenny Slate
For the outside world, it may seem easy to enter into the industry if you belong to a film family, but, trust me, it’s even harder, as you have to not only prove your talent but also carve your own niche and identity.
Armaan Malik
I have long believed that love and will are interdependent and belong together. Both are conjunctive processes of being – a reaching out to influence others, molding, forming, creating the consciousness of the other.
Rollo May
I’ve always liked being relatively obscure. I feel that’s where I belong, that’s where my work belongs.
Don DeLillo
As a country that does not belong to any power bloc, India cannot afford to put itself in the position of needing multilateral support – a trap into which even developed countries, like Portugal and Spain, have fallen.
Raghuram Rajan
Every Englishman is convinced of one thing, viz.: That to be an Englishman is to belong to the most exclusive club there is.
Ogden Nash
I think that in our part of the world, Scandinavia, we are one of the pioneers of showing that gastronomy can be something – high gastronomy can be something very, very present and doesn’t have to involve, you know, what is perceived as the normal luxury items that belong in a high gastronomy restaurant.
Rene Redzepi
I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn’t belong to either party since George Washington.
Jesse Ventura
Everyone wants to belong, and everyone needs to belong in order to make a career on some level.
Ira Sachs
My children are living, thinking human beings. It isn’t in my power to regret them, for they belong to themselves.
Rachel Cusk
I definitely wasn’t cool in high school. I really wasn’t. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas. But I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things.
Dianna Agron
I’m different. Like, I recognize that, and I need to make sure that I am as prepared, that I understand, that I’ve done everything I can, knowing that people are gonna wanna say, ‘She doesn’t belong.’ I wanna prove to them I do.
Jessica Mendoza
But I was also a brat. I used to belong to a gang that went looking for fights with other gangs.
Thomas Keneally
Rock’s gone soft, it’s gone miserable and boring, there’s not really much exciting about it. So it’s important that we cross over, because we feel like we belong more in a place where people just like music and it’s not about how heavy it is.
Oliver Sykes
It’s not lost on me to have the ability to be wearing custom Dior or Gucci, with my box braids or my bantu knots. It’s another opportunity to show that Black girls belong in these places and that what I naturally bring as a Black girl belongs as well.
KiKi Layne
I belong to the Bohri community.
Nushrat Bharucha
Fashion is an industry to make money. It plays into hum

Fashion is an industry to make money. It plays into human psychology. We want to belong, we want to be loved. I’m not trying to demonize the fashion industry – I love the fashion industry – but style is about taking the control out of the industry’s hand and having you decide what works for you.
Stacy London
I won’t say that women belong in the kitchen, but they don’t belong in the dugout.
Keith Hernandez
No one was happy about me entering the entertainment industry because I belong to a Syed family. But I believe no profession is a bad profession, rather it’s all about the mindset.
Saba Qamar
A great number of the women are victims to falling of the womb and weakness in the spine; but these are necessary results of their laborious existence, and do not belong either to climate or constitution.
Fanny Kemble
No, I don’t belong to a retirement community.
Sally Kellerman
In any business that you pursue, if you belong at the top, and you’re perceived as having that caliber, and you do qualify, then it’s something that you want to hold on to.
Rob Van Dam
The tax money belongs to the taxpayers. It doesn’t belong to the bureaucracy. And government is not a welfare system.
Bruce Rauner
Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I’ve been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.
Dionne Warwick
I belong to the Congress. My party has always supported prohibition, though it may not have been successful in implementing prohibition in many states.
P. Chidambaram
My own fear, if I have one myself, is a fear of being obsolete. This is a world that changes very fast, and one of the main human desires is to belong to, to be part of, something. It’s probably one of our greatest needs next to oxygen.
Paul Polman
Jack doesn’t belong anymore to just a family. He belongs to the country.
Joseph P. Kennedy
I belong to a very conservative family.
Sana Khan
I’m a member of the Studio City Driving Range. They have a nice little par-3 AstroTurf course and driving range. You know, I don’t belong to a course because I don’t golf that much, so it’s not worth it for me to join a club.
Kevin Nealon
You can’t really claim too much ownership of your character. They really do belong to the writers, and in many ways, you’re just their puppet.
Johnny Galecki
I still feel I belong to the theatre. There is nothing more challenging and exciting for an actor than performing before a live audience. The stage is the real testing ground for an actor.
Anupam Kher
I believe that there is some spiritual entity that’s greater than us. I do not belong to any specific organized religion. I have always believed that, and I believe it even more so now. I believe that someone was listening to me, and someone is giving me an incredibly blessed life.
Jane Seymour
