Remarks aren't literature.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
Once more I can climb about and remind you that a woman in this epoch does the important literary thinking.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
It is very funny about money. The thing that differentiates man from animals is money. All animals have the same emotions and the same ways as men. Anybody who has lots of animals around knows that. But the thing no animal can do is count, and the thing no animal can know is money.
Gertrude Stein
there is no pleasure so sweet as the pleasure of spending money but the pleasure of writing is longer. There is no denying that.

Gertrude Stein
Repeating is the whole of living and by repeating comes understanding, and understanding is to some the most important part of living.
Gertrude Stein
A real failure does not need an excuse. It is an end in itself.
Gertrude Stein
. . . money . . . is really the difference between men and animals, most of the things men feel, animals feel, and vice versa, but animals do not know about money.
Gertrude Stein
It is natural not to care about a sister certainly not when she is four years older and grinds her teeth at night.
Gertrude Stein
That is what war is and dancing it is forward and back, when one is out walking one wants not to go back the way they came but in dancing and in war it is forward and back.
Gertrude Stein
How do you like what you have. This is a question that anybody can ask anybody. Ask it.
Gertrude Stein
Don't write about what you don't know even if you don't know it.
Gertrude Stein
