Gertrude Stein
I like familiarity. In me it does not bring contempt-only more familiarity.
Gertrude Stein
Very likely education does not make very much difference.
Gertrude Stein
How I wish I were able to say what I think.
Gertrude Stein
Argument is to me the air I breathe.
Gertrude Stein

It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself.

Gertrude Stein
It is natural not to care about a sister certainly not when she is four years older and grinds her teeth at night.
Gertrude Stein
A FEATHER. A feather is trimmed, it is trimmed by the light and the bug and the post, it is trimmed by little leaning and by all sorts of mounted reserves and loud volumes. It is surely cohesive.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
I like a thing simple but it must be simple through complication. Everything must come into your scheme, otherwise you cannot achieve real simplicity.
Gertrude Stein
You'll be old and you never lived, and you kind of feel silly to lie down and die and to never have lived, to have been a job chaser and never have lived.
Gertrude Stein
When you get there, there isn't any there there.
Gertrude Stein
There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.
Gertrude Stein
To complicate things in new ways, that is really very easy but to see things in new ways, that is difficult and that is why genius is so rare.
