Title:
A rose is .... by Gertrude Stein
Answer:
A rose is a rose is a rose.
 
Hints:
1. It is true (logic). Yet...
2. rose=r___=r___ . But they don't look the same.
3. It's a word tautology!!!
 
Equivalents:
1. 'A' always equals 'A'. At least in Math.
 
Explanation:
Gertrude Stein, a woman writer, wrote this quote many years ago. In math/arithmetic: a=a=a. Yes, true. But when you speak, is one rose like another? Are all roses created equal? Are people? Are women? Are writers? Are apples? We know that differences are important. But, for people...should we not all be important? Should others not give us respect, just because we are?

In spanish : "una rosa es una rosa es una rosa".
Instead of "A rose is a rose is a rose.", in French we say "Une rose est une rose est une rose"
