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.
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.
New York is our home.
Home is where one starts from.
I've never felt as though I didn't belong, I just acted as though I did.
He said that if culture is a house, then language was the key to the front door; to all the rooms inside. Without it, he said, you ended up wayward, without a proper home or a legitimate identity.
Someday, I'll make the right connection with the house I'm meant to be in.
Your home is where your family is... Where someone waits for you and thinks about you.
It is important for me to feel at home.
My home is at the WWE. I truly do love performing. The atmosphere here isn't like anything else. It's truly where I belong.
The challenge these days, is to be somewhere, to belong to some particular place, invest oneself in it, draw strength and courage from it, to dwell in a community.
Toronto is home; nothing beats home.
When I stepped in America outside of the plane, I said, 'I came home.'
He wondered whether home was a thing that happened to a place after a while, or if it was something that you found in the end, if you simply walked and waited and willed it long enough.
But, finally, I just realized a few years ago that this is where I belonged. I mean everything I had was invested here, emotionally and every other way. And the country had invested enormously in me.
If you don't believe you don't belong.
If you have someone in your life that you are grateful for - someone to whom you want to write another heartfelt, slanted, misspelled thank you note - do it. Tell them they made you feel loved and supported. That they made you feel like you belonged somewhere and that you were not a freak. Tell them all of that. Tell them today.
Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.
I liked the idea of being from 'somewhere else.' I do think that's inherited. My father never had a fixed sense of where home was, and for my sister and me, it is much easier not to belong than to belong.
Why now? Why not? Live or die, a man and a woman need love. There is a need in the race. We need to share. To belong. Perhaps you will die before the year is out. But remember this: to have may be taken from you, to have had never. Far better to have tasted love before dying, than to die alone.
I went through my whole life wanting to feel I belonged. I was very, very lonely, so I would marry people that I wasn't really in love with, and who weren't right for me, because I hoped they would be.
We all enter the world with fairly simple needs: to be protected, to be nurtured, to be loved unconditionally, and to belong.
I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs.
I couldn't bear to have people mispronounce my name. But the person I was was this person who was called Chloe.
He is inviting you - and me - to come home, to come home to where we belong, to come home to that for which we were created. His arms are stretched out wide to receive us. His heart is enlarged to take us in.
