More quotes by Gertrude Stein

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

Gertrude Stein
From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.
Gertrude Stein
It is always a mistake to be plain-spoken.
Gertrude Stein
Two things are always the same the dance and war.
Gertrude Stein
This is the real thing of disillusion that no one, not any one really is believing, seeing, understanding, thinking anything as you are thinking, believing, seeing, understanding such a thing.
Gertrude Stein
You cannot go into the womb to form the child it is there and makes itself and comes forth whole-and there it is and you have made it and have felt it, but it has come itself.
Gertrude Stein
