Quote by Virginia Woolf

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

As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that the speaker, as a woman, does not find her sense of identity and belonging in a specific country. Instead, she sees herself as a citizen of the entire world. It signifies a rejection of narrow nationalistic sentiments and the notion that being a woman transcends geographic boundaries. It emphasizes unity, inclusivity, and a desire to stand in solidarity with women across different cultures and nations, highlighting the universal nature of women's experiences and shared struggles.

The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-colored bulbs of man-rayed luminance. A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.
