Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
The times are so peculiar now, so mediaeval so unreasonable that for the first time in a hundred years truth is really stranger than fiction. Any truth.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
I have heard Will Honeycomb say, A Woman seldom Writes her Mind but in her Postscript.
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
There is no passion more dominant and instinctive in the human spirit than the need of the country to which one belongs.... The time comes when nothing in the world is so important as a breath of one's own particular climate. If it were one's last penny it would be used for that return passage.
Gertrude Stein
Animals in different countries have different expressions just as the people in different countries differ in expression.
Gertrude Stein
If you are looking down while you are walking it is better to walk up hill the ground is nearer.
