Joyce Carol Oates

I’m sure all that you’ve heard is just the usual gossip, invented to injure feelings rather than illuminate truth.

George Bancroft

Truth is not exciting enough to those who depend on the characters and lives of their neighbors for all their amusement

It was only too bad that to gossip and support mean ideas was easier and more enjoyable, really, than to keep quiet and know in silence that the true story can never be told, articulated in a way that will tell the whole truth. Even if it is better to be quiet, quietness will never reign. People talked, even the best of them.

Susan Wittig Albert

The worst thing about talk … is that there’s no way to lay it to rest. Every fresh breeze brings a new speculation.
