  Gertrude Stein, Richard Kostelanetz (2002). “The Gertrude Stein Reader: The Great American Pioneer of Avant-garde Letters”, p.84, Rowman & Littlefield

• A novel is what you dream in your night sleep. A novel is
  not waking thoughts although it is written and thought
  with waking thoughts. But really a novel goes as
  dreams go in sleeping at night and some dreams are like
  anything and some dreams are like something and some
  dreams change and some dreams are quiet and some dreams
  are not. And some dreams are just what any one would
  do only a little different always just a little
  different and that is what a novel is.
