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
You cannot go into the womb to form the child it is there and makes itself and comes forth whole-and there it is and you have made it and have felt it, but it has come itself.
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
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
A little artist has all the tragic unhappiness and the sorrows of a great artist and he is not a great artist.
