More quotes by 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
What is the answer? In that case, what is the question?
Gertrude Stein
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
It is very funny about money. The thing that differentiates man from animals is money. All animals have the same emotions and the same ways as men. Anybody who has lots of animals around knows that. But the thing no animal can do is count, and the thing no animal can know is money.
Gertrude Stein
There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.

The difference between saints, forget-me-nots, and mountains, have to, have to, have to at a time.
Gertrude Stein
One of the pleasant things those of us who write or paint do is to have the daily miracle. It does come.
Gertrude Stein
I rarely believe anything, because at the time of believing I am not really there to believe.
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
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
Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.
Gertrude Stein
Dogs are dogs, you sometimes think that they are not but they are. And they always are here there and everywhere.
Gertrude Stein
Explanations are clear but since no one to whom a thing is explained can connect the explanations with what is really clear, therefore clear explanations are not clear.
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
I think the reason I am important is that I know everything.
Gertrude Stein
There is no reason why a king should be rich or a rich man should be a king, no reason at all.
Gertrude Stein
From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.
Gertrude Stein
Disillusionment in living is finding that no one can really ever be agreeing with you completely in anything.
Gertrude Stein
I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it.
Gertrude Stein
You are all a lost generation.
Gertrude Stein
