Coffee is real good when you drink it gives you time to think. It's a lot more than just a drink it's something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.
Gertrude Stein
There is no such thing as repetition. Only insistance.
Gertrude Stein
I like familiarity. In me it does not bring contempt-only more familiarity.
Gertrude Stein
I tell you old and young are better than tired middle-aged, nothing is so dead dead-tired, dead every way as middle-aged.
Gertrude Stein
From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
Whoever said money can't buy happiness didn't know where to shop
Gertrude Stein
If the communication is perfect, the words have life, and that is all there is to good writing, putting down on the paper words which dance and weep and make love and fight and kiss and perform miracles.
Gertrude Stein
War is never fatal but always lost. Always lost.
Gertrude Stein
It is so friendly so simply friendly and though inevitable not a sadness and though occurring not a shock.
Gertrude Stein
I don't envisage collectivism. There is no such animal, it is always individualism, sometimes the rest vote and sometimes they do not, and if they do they do and if they do not they do not.
Gertrude Stein
When you get there, there isn't any there there.
Gertrude Stein
The United States is just now the oldest country in the world, there always is an oldest country and she is it, it is she who is the mother of the twentieth century civilization. She began to feel herself as it just after the Civil War. And so it is a country the right age to have been born in and the wrong age to live in.
