Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.
Gertrude Stein
When you get there, there isn't any there there.
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
The idea of enemies is awful it makes one stop remembering eternity and the fear of death. That is what enemies are. Possessions are the same as enemies only less so, they too make one forget eternity and the fear of death.
Gertrude Stein
Do you know because I tell you so, or do you know, do you know.
Gertrude Stein
That is what you are. That's what you all are...All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation.
Gertrude Stein
There is no beginning to an end / But there is a beginning and an end / To beginning.

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
I have heard Will Honeycomb say, A Woman seldom Writes her Mind but in her Postscript.
Gertrude Stein
I think the reason I am important is that I know everything.
Gertrude Stein
Just as everybody has the vote including women, I think children should, because as a child is conscious of itself then it has to me an existence and has a stake in what happens.
Gertrude Stein
Nature is commonplace. Imitation is more interesting.
Gertrude Stein
There are a lot of other things besides nouns.
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
I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to do to get rich.
Gertrude Stein
. . . money . . . is really the difference between men and animals, most of the things men feel, animals feel, and vice versa, but animals do not know about money.
Gertrude Stein
If you are a thinker, you will change the language. You will not use words the way others do.
Gertrude Stein
