Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"Matisse Picasso and Gertrude Stein With Two Shorter Stories"


Union is not strength and division is not disaster, separation is not
unwieldy and perpetuation is not friendly.
To darken a day it is necessay to travel more and to accompany that with
that expression and certainly there has come to be more meaning in a
piece that is bought than in a piece that is sold.
A way of erecting a room is the way there comes to be no use in having
that right. This is certainly no breaker of bargains.
Certainly not, that which is honest and arranges that obligation is not
telling more of remembering the Hurds. Not more than there is of
exchanging a time to have the thing gone and meeting no frown. Not that
alone which uses that to-day any day.
That is all so new where there is no rebearing that which is not heard.
A sound is not a waste when there is the same to come.
A long while when the increase is so gradual that three pairs are all
not the same age as the time that is not gone, a long simple bath is
that which any day is at an open window, a long simple bath is that when
every day the floor is cleaner, a long simple bath is that which is not
only practiced by the pleasure in the finger. A long simple bath is
contiguous to a certainty.
The pleasure of that is not that an oyster is colder or that a rabbit is
hotter. The pleasure of that is that there is need of the anger.
The use of a horse is that when there is plenty it is not only a heel
that is caught.
