It is a very strange feeling when one is loving a clock that is to every one of your class of living an ugly and a foolish one and one really likes such a thing and likes it very much and liking it is a serious thing, or one likes a colored handkerchief that is very gay and every one of your kind of living thinks it a very ugly or a foolish thing and thinks you like it because it is a funny thing to like it and you like it with a serious feeling, or you like eating something that is a dirty thing and no one can really like that thing or you write a book and while you write it you are ashamed for every one must think you a silly or a crazy one and yet you write it and you are ashamed, you know you will be laughed at or pitied by every one and you have a queer feeling and you are not very certain and you go on writing. Then someone says yes to it, to something you are liking, or doing or making and then never again can you have completely such a feeling of being afraid and ashamed that you had then when you were writing or liking the thing and not any one had said yes about the thing.

Gertrude SteinPara uma irlandesa, os Kreder eram um casal avarento e porco. Não tinha a imundície franca, instintiva, combativa, enlameada e maltrapilha que Mary conhecia e podia perdoar e amar. A deles era a imundície alemã da economia, de ser desleixado com o que vestia para poupar as roupas, de economizar nos banhos, de deixar o cabelo oleoso para poupar sabonete e toalhas, de ter as roupas sujas não por opção, as porque era mais barato, de manter a casa fechada e abafada para não gastar com aquecimento, de viver miseravelmente não apenas para economizar dinheiro, mas até para esquecer que o possuíam, trabalhando sem parar não só porque era de sua natureza ou porque precisavam disso, mas porque lhes trazia dinheiro e porque assim evitavam as situações em que podiam gastá-lo.
