Gertrude Stein
If you can do it then why do it?
Gertrude Stein
Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.

. . . 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
You have to know what you want. And if it seems to take you off the track, don't hold back, because perhaps that is instinctively where you want to be. And if you hold back and try to be always where you have been before, you will go dry.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son.
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
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
You attract what you need like a lover
Gertrude Stein
Disillusionment in living is finding that no one can really ever be agreeing with you completely in anything.
Gertrude Stein
Patriarchal Poetry makes mistakes.
Gertrude Stein
It is better to lose and win, than win and be defeated.
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
