Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
Whoever said money can't buy happiness didn't know where to shop
Gertrude Stein
No sense in no sense innocence of what of not and what of delight. In no sense innocence in no sense and what in delight and not, in no sense innocence in no sense no sense what, in no sense and delight, and in no sense and delight and not in no sense and delight and not, no sense in no sense innocence and delight.
Gertrude Stein
History takes time. History makes memory.
Gertrude Stein
Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.
Gertrude Stein
Writers only think they are interested in politics, they are not really, it gives them a chance to talk and writers like to talk but really no real writer is really interested in politics.
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
A country house is not the same as a house in a country and a hotel in the country is not the same as a hotel in a town but is it in a small town.
Gertrude Stein
You'll be old and you never lived, and you kind of feel silly to lie down and die and to never have lived, to have been a job chaser and never have lived.
Gertrude Stein
