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
There is no beginning to an end / But there is a beginning and an end / To beginning.

They were gay every day. They ended every day in the same way, at the same time, and they had been every day regularly gay.
Gertrude Stein
The difference between saints, forget-me-nots, and mountains, have to, have to, have to at a time.
