你是想買衣服，還是想收藏畫作？
Gertrude Stein 當面對年輕的海明威如此提醒：
「你可以買衣服，也可以買畫，卻只能選一。
並非富豪，無法兩者兼得。
別追求時尚，挑舒適耐穿的衣服，
剩下的錢，就用來買畫吧。」

“You can either buy clothes or buy pictures,” she said.
“It’s that simple. No one who is not very rich can do both. Pay no attention to your clothes and no attention at all to the mode, and buy your clothes for comfort and durability, and you will have the clothes money to buy pictures.”
