"In Gertrude Stein's writing every word lives and, apart from concept, it is so exquisitely rhythmical and cadenced that if we read it aloud and receive it as pure sound, it is like a kind of sensuous music."
- Mabel Dodge Luhan
"Stein in her work with words used the entire text as a field in which every element mattered as much as any other."
- Judy Grahn
"It is a marvelous and painstaking achievement in setting down approximately 80,000 words which mean nothing at all."
- James Thurber paraphrasing Stuart P. Sherman
