More quotes by 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
You are extraordinary within your limits, but your limits are extraordinary!
Gertrude Stein

Well money is not easy to describe. It is easy to lose but it cannot be lost, and no one can get really get used to it.
Gertrude Stein
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.
Gertrude Stein
When you earn it and spend it you do know the difference between three dollars and a million dollars, but when you say it and vote it, it all sounds the same.
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
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
In France one must adapt oneself to the fragrance of a urinal.
