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

Gertrude Stein
It is so friendly so simply friendly and though inevitable not a sadness and though occurring not a shock.
Gertrude Stein
I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it.
Gertrude Stein
Men cannot count, they do not know that two and two make four if women do not tell them so.
Gertrude Stein
Nature is commonplace. Imitation is more interesting.
Gertrude Stein
