Gertrude Stein is an outdoor bronze sculpture of Gertrude Stein, located at Bryant Park in Manhattan, New York. The casting was installed in 1992 and is based on a model created by Jo Davidson in Paris in 1923. It neighbors the New York Public Library Main Branch, which, according to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, commemorates Stein's "significant literary contributions".

“It is awfully important to know what is and what is not your business.”
“Suppose no one asked a question, what would be the answer.”
“It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.”
“Perhaps I am not I even if my little dog knows me but anyway I like what I have and now it is today.”
“Writers only think they are interested in politics, they are not really, it gives them a chance to talk and writers like to talk but really no real writer is really interested in politics.”
