Gertrude Stein
One must either accept some theory or else believe one's own instinct or follow the world's opinion.
Gertrude Stein
If you are a thinker, you will change the language. You will not use words the way others do.
Gertrude Stein
There is a difference between twenty-nine and thirty. When you are twenty-nine it can be the beginning of everything. When you are thirty it can be the end of everything.
Gertrude Stein
