Stein Quotes

He mentioned a dear friend Morrie had, Maurie Stein, who had first sent Morrie's aphorisms to the Boston Globe. They had been together at Brandeis since the early sixties. Now Stein was going deaf. Koppel imagined the two men together one day, one unable to speak, the other unable to hear. What would that be like?"We will hold hands," Morrie said. "And there'll be a lot of love passing between us. Ted, we've had thirty-five years of friendship. You don't need speech or hearing to feel... Mitch Albom

Gertrude Stein really thought of Hemingway as frail. He almost married Stein. Leslie Fiedler
After a while I murmured to Picasso that I liked his portrait of Gertrude Stein. Yes, he said, everybody says that she does not look like it but that does not make any difference, she will, he said. Gertrude Stein
She's vicious,' Miss Stein said. 'She's truly vicious, so she can never be happy except with new people. She corrupts people. Ernest Hemingway

Godiva was tired and old and Gertrude Stein in spring bought a new car... Alice B. Toklas

You are all a lost generation.[with credit to Gertrude Stein] Ernest Hemingway
You are all a lost generation," Gertrude Stein said to Hemingway. We weren't lost. We knew where we were, all right, but we wouldn't go home. Ours was the generation that stayed up all night. James Thurber
When prose gets too stylized and out of control - and Stein is sometimes a good example - when you don't know what the hell is going on, then it's kind of boring. Rick Moody
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'. Fred Melamed
Clifton Fadiman quote: "Gertrude Stein was masterly in making nothing happen very slowly."
Gertrude Stein was masterly in making nothing happen very slowly. Clifton Fadiman
Every now and then, I strike something that just goes click, you know, in my head. As Gertrude Stein used to say, it rings the bell, and I feel, this is great. James Laughlin
