"After all everybody, that is, everybody who writes," said Gertrude Stein, "is interested in living inside themselves in order to tell what is inside themselves. That is why writers have to have two countries, the one where they belong and the one in which they live really. The second one is romantic; it is separate from themselves, it is not real but it is really there."
- G. A. Harrison, "Gertrude Stein's America"

"And in asking a question one is not answering but one is as one may say deciding about knowing. Knowing is what you know and is asking these questions although there is no one who answers these questions there is in them that there is knowledge." - Gertrude Stein.
We may not be the same, but we're certainly attracted to the same writers.
