More quotes by 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
I like the feeling of words doing as they want to do and as they have to do.
Gertrude Stein
In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. This is what makes American what it is.
Gertrude Stein
... anybody is as their land and air is. Anybody is as the sky is low or high, the air heavy or clear and anybody is as there is wind or no wind there. It is that which makes them and the arts they make and the work they do and the way they eat and the way they drink and the way they learn and everything.
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
That is what you are. That's what you all are...All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation.
Gertrude Stein
I could never be one of two I could never be two in one as married couples do and can, I am but one all one, one and all one, and so I have never been married to any one.
Gertrude Stein
Language as a real thing is not imitation either of sounds or colors or emotions it is an intellectual recreation and there is nopossible doubt about it and it is going to go on being that as long as humanity is anything.
Gertrude Stein
There is a difference between twenty-nine and thirty. When you are twenty-nine it can be the beginning of everything. When you are thirty it can be the end of everything.
Gertrude Stein
It always did bother me that the American public were more interested in me than in my work. And after all there is no sense in it because if it were not for my work they would not be interested in me so why should they not be more interested in my work than in me. That is one of the things one has to worry about in America.
Gertrude Stein
There is no such thing as repetition. Only insistance.
Gertrude Stein
I really do know that it can be done and if it can be done why do it...
Gertrude Stein
When in a museum, walk slowly but keep walking.
Gertrude Stein
The head-lines which do not head anything they simply replace something but they do not make anything.
Gertrude Stein
Explanations are clear but since no one to whom a thing is explained can connect the explanations with what is really clear, therefore clear explanations are not clear.
Gertrude Stein
You are so afraid of losing your moral sense that you are not willing to take it through anything more dangerous than a mud-puddle.
Gertrude Stein
History takes time. History makes memory.
Gertrude Stein
I understand you undertake to overthrow my undertaking.
Gertrude Stein
The artist works by locating the world in himself
Gertrude Stein
There is no beginning to an end / But there is a beginning and an end / To beginning.
Gertrude Stein
