Gertrude Stein
The head-lines which do not head anything they simply replace something but they do not make anything.
Gertrude Stein
Men cannot count, they do not know that two and two make four if women do not tell them so.

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
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
Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.
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
Do you know because I tell you so, or do you know, do you know.
Gertrude Stein
Poetry consists in a rhyming dictionary and things seen.
Gertrude Stein
there is no pleasure so sweet as the pleasure of spending money but the pleasure of writing is longer. There is no denying that.
Gertrude Stein
I could never be one of two I could never be two in one as married couples do and can, I am but one all one, one and all one, and so I have never been married to any one.
Gertrude Stein
When they are alone they want to be with others, and when they are with others they want to be alone. After all, human beings are like that.
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.
