Quote by Virginia Woolf

As a woman, I have no country. As a woman my country is the world.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker, as a woman, does not feel a strong sense of belonging or loyalty to a specific country. Instead, her identification with being a woman allows her to transcend national boundaries and consider the entire world as her community and place of identity. In essence, her gender becomes her primary affiliation, leading her to prioritize global unity and understanding over patriotism tied to singular nations.

The business side of film has goofed up so many things, but even that's changing. It happened to the music industry and now it's happening to the film studios. It's crazy what's going on. But artists should have control of their work especially if, as I always say, you never turn down a good idea and never take a bad idea.

He who has learnt to control his tongue has attained self-control in a great measure. When such a person speaks he will be heard with respect and attention. His words will be remembered, for they will be good and true. When one who is established in truth prays with a pure heart, then things he really needs come to him when they are really needed: he does not have to run after them. The man firmly established in truth gets the fruit of his actions without apparently doing anything. God, the source of all truth, supplies his needs and looks after his welfare.
