“Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its sal...” — Gertrude Stein Quote

“Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.”

“Picasso once remarked I do not care who it is that has or does influence me as long as it is not myself.”

“Men cannot count, they do not know that two and two make four if women do not tell them so.”

“Survival alone is not the goal. We are meant to feel, to care, to belong to something larger than fear.”

“I waited in the kitchen and watched as a bright morning sun swept through the rooms. It would briefly catch on the part of the window that was not filthy, or a patch of carpet near the trim that had not been trampled by decades of stomping feet, and these things were transformed as if in some Cinderella story; dust particles shone like shooting stars caught in an upstream. I wanted to catch that light, to be purified in it and become a better version of myself.”
