I am I because my little dog knows me but, creatively speaking the little dog knowing that you are you and your recognising that he knows, that is what destroys creation. That is what makes school.

More quotes by Gertrude Stein
I like familiarity. In me it does not bring contempt-only more familiarity.
Gertrude Stein
No sense in no sense innocence of what of not and what of delight. In no sense innocence in no sense and what in delight and not, in no sense innocence in no sense no sense what, in no sense and delight, and in no sense and delight and not in no sense and delight and not, no sense in no sense innocence and delight.
Gertrude Stein
I have declared that patience is never more than patient. I too have declared, that I who am not patient am patient.
Gertrude Stein
Do you know because I tell you so, or do you know, do you know.
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
Don't write about what you don't know even if you don't know it.
Gertrude Stein
Two things are always the same the dance and war.
Gertrude Stein
Once more I can climb about and remind you that a woman in this epoch does the important literary thinking.
Gertrude Stein
... when there is a war the years are longer that is to say the days are longer the months are longer the years are much longer but the weeks are shorter that is what makes a war.
Gertrude Stein
I had a family. They can be a nuisance in identity but there is no doubt no shadow of doubt that that identity the family identity we can do without.
Gertrude Stein
Patriarchal Poetry makes mistakes.
Gertrude Stein
Some out of their own virtue make a god who sometimes later is a nuisance to them, a terror perhaps to them, a difficult thing to be forgetting.
Gertrude Stein
There ain't no answer. There ain't gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer.
Gertrude Stein
I tell you old and young are better than tired middle-aged, nothing is so dead dead-tired, dead every way as middle-aged.
Gertrude Stein
You'll be old and you never lived, and you kind of feel silly to lie down and die and to never have lived, to have been a job chaser and never have lived.
Gertrude Stein
The deepest thing in any one is the conviction of the bad luck that follows boasting.
Gertrude Stein
I understand you undertake to overthrow my undertaking.
Gertrude Stein
there are the two sides to a Frenchman, logic and fashion and that is the reason why French people are exciting and peaceful. Logic and fashion.
Gertrude Stein
There are of course people who are more important than others in that they have more importance in the world but this is not essential and it ceases to be. I have no sense of difference in this respect because every human being comprises the combination form.
Gertrude Stein
Since it could be done what was the use of doing it, and anyway you always have to stop doing something sometime.
Gertrude Stein
