Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
Christian Finnegan: [On Shar Jackson] This is the first ever piece of celebrity gossip containing no celebrities.
Derrick: [answering professor] Gossip and news *are* the same thing, they've always been the same thing. People tell stories, that's what makes us human. Professor Goodwin: Come on Webb, connect the dots. Be clear... Derrick: People pass a bunch of stories around in a tribe and finally someone writes 'em down, and you have religion.
Do not speak ill of society, Algie. Only people who can't get in do that.
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.
If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.
I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumours to my dogs.
It drains the bars and cafes after hours, concentrates the wicked and the guilty along its chipped Formica counter, and thrums with the gossip of criminals, policemen, shtarkers,and schlemiels, whores and night owls ... three or four floaters, solitaries, and drunks between benders lean against the sparkly resin counter, sucking the tea from their shtekelehs and working the calulations of their next big mistake.
Prince or commoner, tenor or bass, Painter or plumber or never-do-well, Do me a favor and shut your face - Poets alone should kiss and tell.
Ransod Rai "the Roger" Patel: [singing, translated from Hindi] A Black says, "What's up?" / Spanish Say, "¿Qué pasa?" / Among Desis, gossip is our lingo / I speak everyone's language.
This mannerism of what he'd seen of society struck Homer Wells quite forcefully; people, even nice people
Some say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It's gossip
People always did like to talk, didn't they? That's why I call myself a witch now: the Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention.
The key to good eavesdropping is not getting caught.
How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.
Keyholes are the occasions of more sin and wickedness, than all other holes in this world put together.
Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.
Doesn't matter what you do, or how you do it, your neighbors are gonna talk about you ANYWAY.
Men and women walked casually about as they did on the main floor, every now and then stopping one another, exchanging pleasantries or scraps of relevantly irrelevant information. Gossip.
There's a kind of radar that you get, after years of being talked about and made fun of by other people. You can almost smell it when it's about to happen, can recognize instantly the sound of a hushed voice, lowered just enough to make whatever is said okay. I had only been in Colby for a few weeks. But I had not forgotten.
Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.
Gossip is never fatal until it is denied. Gossip goes on about every human being alive and about all the dead that are alive enough to be remembered, and yet almost never does any harm until some defender makes a controversy. Gossip's a nasty thing, but it's sickly, and if people of good intentions will let it entirely alone, it will die, ninety-nine times out of a hundred.
Sometimes I think the human animal doesn't really need food or water to survive, only gossip.
In a very real way, one writes a story to find out what happens in it. Before it is written it sits in the mind like a piece of overheard gossip or a bit of intriguing tattle. The story process is like taking up such a piece of gossip, hunting down the people actually involved, questioning them, finding out what really occurred, and visiting pertinent locations. As with gossip, you can't be too surprised if important things turn up that were left out of the first-heard version entirely; or if points initially made much of turn out to have been distorted, or simply not to have happened at all.
