More quotes by Gertrude Stein
there are many ways of eating, for some eating is living for some eating is dying, for some thinking about ways of eating gives to them the feeling that they have it in them to be alive and to be going on living, to some to think about eating makes them know that death is always waiting that dying is in them.

You have to know what you want. And if it seems to take you off the track, don't hold back, because perhaps that is instinctively where you want to be. And if you hold back and try to be always where you have been before, you will go dry.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
I just tell you and though I dont sound like it I've got plenty of sense, there aint any answer, there aint going to be any answer, there never has been any answer, that's the answer.
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
Hope in gates, hope in spoons, hope in doors, hope in tables, no hope in daintiness and determination. Hope in dates.
Gertrude Stein
Writer or painter god-parents are notoriously unreliable. That is, there is certain before long to be a cooling of friendship.
Gertrude Stein
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
Too few is as many as too many.
Gertrude Stein
What is the answer? In that case, what is the question?
Gertrude Stein
Some out of their own virtue make a god who sometimes later is a nuisance to them, a terror perhaps to them, a difficult thing to be forgetting.
Gertrude Stein
One cannot come back too often to the question what is knowledge and to the answer knowledge is what one knows.... Knowledge is the thing you know and how can you know more than you do know.
Gertrude Stein
