All literature is gossip

History is idle gossip about a happening whose truth is lost the instant it has taken place.

What you feel tells you nothing about the facts — it merely tells you something about your estimate of the facts.

The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question.

Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.

If the person you’re speaking to will think worse or less of the person you’re speaking about, then it’s gossip, so cut it out!

To a philosopher all news is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.

It is always assumed by the empty-headed, who chatter about themselves for want of something better, that people who do not discuss their affairs openly must have something to hide.

You can point to the alleged miracles of the Bible, or any other religious text, but they are nothing but old stories fabricated by man and then exaggerated over time.

When I listen to people talk, all I hear is what they're not tellin' me.

But what's real? You can't find the truth. You just pick the lie you like best. As long as you know that everything's a lie, you can't hurt yourself.

Don't believe those lies about intellectual people. They're only written to soothe the majority.

It's all bullshit, folks.

all is phony.
