Gertrude Stein Quotes

Most People Are More Predetermined As To What Is The Human Form And The Human Face Than They Are As To What Are Flowers, Landscapes, Still Lifes. Not Everybody. I Remember One Of The First Exhibitions Of Van Gogh, There Was An American There And She Said To Her Friend, I Find These Portraits Of People Quite Interesting For I Don't Know What People Are Like But I Don't At All Like These Flower Pictures Because I Know Very Well What Flowers Are Like.

Most People Are Not Like That. I Do Not Mean To Say That They Know People Better Than They Know Other Things But They Have Stronger Convictions About What People Are Than What Other Things Are.
