“Life is a matter of having these moments when you intuit what you desire. Anything you find in reality to embody that is always a failure. It's not 100 percent as rich as that sensed moment. So the finished thing you make has to have that consciousness built within it: this is something you love, but it's not really the fulfillment of that thing that awoke love in you to begin with. That's the tragedy of life, the opportunity of life. That's what true art has to reflect.” -Richard Foreman

"According to Virgil Thomson, who wrote music to libretti authored by Stein, the 'book is in every way except actual authorship Alice Toklas's book; it reflects her mind, her language, her private view of Gertrude, also her unique narrative powers. Every story in it is told as Alice herself had always told it....Every story that ever came into the house eventually got told in Alice's way, and this was its definitive version.'"
