More quotes by Gertrude Stein

She began to feel herself as it just after the Civil War. And so it is a country the right age to have been born in and the wrong age to live in.

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
If you are a thinker, you will change the language. You will not use words the way others do.
