More Quotes from Gertrude Stein:
Melanctha Herbert was always losing what she had in all the things she saw. Melanctha was always being left when she was not leaving others. Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements and denials and vague distrusts and complicated disillusions.

Melanctha Herbert was always seeking rest and quiet and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble.Gertrude Stein
