Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
Picasso once remarked I do not care who it is that has or does influence me as long as it is not myself.
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
The artist works by locating the world in himself
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein
If things happen all the time you are never nervous. It is when they are not happening that you are nervous.
Gertrude Stein
It always did bother me that the American public were more interested in me than in my work. And after all there is no sense in it because if it were not for my work they would not be interested in me so why should they not be more interested in my work than in me. That is one of the things one has to worry about in America.
