Gertrude Stein
It is better to lose and win, than win and be defeated.
Gertrude Stein
It is very easy to love alone.
Gertrude Stein
I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to do to get rich.

There is no passion more dominant and instinctive in the human spirit than the need of the country to which one belongs.... The time comes when nothing in the world is so important as a breath of one's own particular climate. If it were one's last penny it would be used for that return passage.
Gertrude Stein
Nobody knows what I am trying to do but I do and I know when I succeed.

Gertrude Stein
I always wanted to be historical, from almost a baby on, I felt that way about it.
Gertrude Stein
I really do know that it can be done and if it can be done why do it...
Gertrude Stein
A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.
Gertrude Stein
The reason why all of us naturally began to live in France is because France has scientific methods, machines and electricity, but does not really believe that these things have anything to do with the real business of living.
Gertrude Stein
I am I because my little dog knows me but, creatively speaking the little dog knowing that you are you and your recognising that he knows, that is what destroys creation. That is what makes school.
Gertrude Stein
Action and reaction are equal and opposite.
