Цитаты Гертруда Стайн
„Вся молодежь, побывавшая на войне. Вы — потерянное поколение.“
— Гертруда Стайн
из разговора с Хэмингуэем
„We are always the same age inside.“
— Gertrude Stein
As quoted in The American Treasury, 1455-1955 (1955) edited by Clifton Fadiman, p. 946
„All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation...“
— Gertrude Stein
Context: All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation... You have no respect for anything. You drink yourselves to death.
Statement quoted by Ernest Hemingway in A Moveable Feast (1964) Ch. 3, it had also provided the epigraph to The Sun Also Rises (1926).
„Explanations are clear but since no one to whom a thing is explained can connect the explanations with what is really clear, therefore clear explanations are not clear.“
— Gertrude Stein
Context: Explanations are clear but since no one to whom a thing is explained can connect the explanations with what is really clear, therefore clear explanations are not clear. Now this is a simple thing that anybody who has ever argued or quarreled knows perfectly well is a simple thing, only when they read it they do not understand it because they do not see that understanding and believing are not the same thing.
