  1. The feuding between Matisse and Picasso reads like Twitch Streamer Drama. But also, I can’t stop thinking about this line:

    “there is nothing within you [Matisse] that fights itself and hitherto you have had the instinct to produce antagonism in others which stimulated you to attack. But now they follow.”

  2. The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas (by Gertrude Stein) is full of dry humor and French pettiness of the highest order, over the lowest stakes.

    “So when Miss Stein said to her, Monsieur Matisse is staying for dinner this evening, she would say, in that case I will not make an omelette but fry the eggs. It takes the same number of eggs and the same amount of butter but it shows less respect, and he will understand.”
