Life is like a game of chess, in which there are an infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is open, but the move contains within itself all future moves. One is free to choose, but what follows is the result of one's choice. From the consequences of one's action there is never any escape.
-- Shelley Smith in The Ballad of the Running Man
| Gossip, n.: Hearing something you like about someone you don't. |
Earl Wilson |
| Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around. |
Frank A. Clark |
| Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker. |
George Eliot |
| Who gossips with you will gossip of you. |
Irish Proverb |
| A gossip is one who talks to you about others; a bore is one who talks to you about himself; and a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about yourself. |
Lisa Kirk |
| Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid. |
Walter Winchell |
| Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. |
Will Rogers |
