Einstein, Stein and Wittgenstein, 1984-1989
"People like Wittgenstein, Stein, and Einstein are formidable. Now take Gertrude Stein: 'thank you for all thoughts', 'how do you find what you have', 'beware of the next star', 'giving it away, not giving it away, is there any difference?', 'If I told him he would like it would he like it if I told him'. That has a great power of expression. In Japan, I taught English and there I worked with that kind of sentences."
