Art isn't everything. It's just about everything.
Gertrude Stein
I tell you old and young are better than tired middle-aged, nothing is so dead dead-tired, dead every way as middle-aged.
Gertrude Stein
We are always the same age inside.
Gertrude Stein
Nature is commonplace. Imitation is more interesting.
Gertrude Stein
It is better to lose and win, than win and be defeated.
Gertrude Stein
Some out of their own virtue make a god who sometimes later is a nuisance to them, a terror perhaps to them, a difficult thing to be forgetting.
Gertrude Stein
A saint is one to be for two when three and you make five and two and cover. A at most. Saint saint a saint.
Gertrude Stein
You have to know what you want. And if it seems to take you off the track, don't hold back, because perhaps that is instinctively where you want to be. And if you hold back and try to be always where you have been before, you will go dry.
Gertrude Stein
I have declared that patience is never more than patient. I too have declared, that I who am not patient am patient.
Gertrude Stein
A saint a real saint never does anything, a martyr does something but a really good saint does nothing, and so I wanted to have Four Saints who did nothing and I wrote the Four Saints In Three Acts and they did nothing and that was everything. Generally speaking anybody is more interesting doing nothing than doing something.
Gertrude Stein
I don't envisage collectivism. There is no such animal, it is always individualism, sometimes the rest vote and sometimes they do not, and if they do they do and if they do not they do not.
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
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
One must dare to be happy.
Gertrude Stein
Very likely education does not make very much difference.
Gertrude Stein
The head-lines which do not head anything they simply replace something but they do not make anything.
Gertrude Stein
Patriarchal Poetry makes mistakes.
Gertrude Stein
There is no there there.
Gertrude Stein
The thing that differentiates man from animals is money.
Gertrude Stein
Coffee is real good when you drink it gives you time to think. It's a lot more than just a drink it's something happening. 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
