More quotes by Gertrude Stein
As there was never any question there was never any answer.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
You attract what you need like a lover
Gertrude Stein
A saint is one to be for two when three and you make five and two and cover. A at most. Saint saint a saint.
Gertrude Stein
The difference between saints, forget-me-nots, and mountains, have to, have to, have to at a time.
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
I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it.
Gertrude Stein
This joy you feel is life.
Gertrude Stein
One of the pleasant things those of us who write or paint do is to have the daily miracle. It does come.
Gertrude Stein
