Life is only limited by our prejudices. Destroy them, and you cease to be at the mercy of yourself.

Women must destroy in themselves, the desire to be loved-

LOVE of others is the appreciation of one's self. MAY your egotism be so gigantic that you comprise mankind in your self-sympathy.

If you want to realize yourselves all your pet illusions must be unmasked.

The flux of life is pouring its aesthetic aspect into your eyes, your ears - and you ignore it because you are looking for your canons of beauty in some sort of frame or glass case or tradition.

Leave off looking to men to find out what you are not - seek within yourselves to find out what you are.

Gertrude Stein ... the Madame Curie of language. Because in her deep research she has crushed thousands of tons of matter to extract the radium of the word.
