Rumours are a part and parcel of being an actor, and I am okay with that. ~ Uday Kiran
Rumours quotes by Uday Kiran
I heard the rumours,but the only blond people here [in Sweden] are the guys. And they all look like Ellen DeGeneres. It's Ellen DeGeneres world, and it's all guys! It's now switched. ~ Pablo Francisco
Rumours quotes by Pablo Francisco
Then we heard the rumours: that the last scientists were working on a cure that would end the plague and restore the world. Restore it? Why? I like the death! I like the misery! I like this world! ~ Vincent Klyn
Rumours quotes by Vincent Klyn
Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time ... ~ Paul McCartney
Rumours quotes by Paul McCartney
Well, we have to do something. There are all sorts of rumours about soldiers coming up."
"These people are full of rumours. They love rumours." Paterson stood watching the bridge. "Their whole life is a rumour. ~ H.E. Bates
Rumours quotes by H.E. Bates
Now, as I expect you know, there is nothing more cruel than talk, and there is nothing more difficult to combat. When people say things behind your back there is nothing you can refute or deny, and the rumours go on growing and growing, and no one can stop them. I ~ Agatha Christie
Rumours quotes by Agatha Christie
I've never liked urban myths. I've never liked pretending to believe in them; never understood why everyone else doesn't see straight through them. Why is it they've always happened to a friend of a friend - someone you've never met? Why does everyone smile and nod and pull the right faces, when they must know they're not true? Pointless. A waste of breath.
So I sneered at the myths about Scaderstone Pit. It was just an old quarry – nothing more. I never believed in the rumours of discarded dynamite. It had decayed, they said. It exploded at the slightest touch, had even blown someone's hand off. I shrugged off the talk of the toxic waste. It was dumped in the dead of night, they said. The canisters rusting away, leaking deadly poisons that could blind you, burn your lungs. I laughed at the ghost stories. You could hear the moans, they said, of quarrymen buried alive and never found. You could see their nightwalking souls, searching for their poor crushed bodies.
I didn't believe any of it – not one word. Now, after everything that's happened, I wonder whether I should've listened to those stories. Maybe then, these things would've happened to someone else, and I could've smiled and said they were impossible.
But this is not an urban myth. And it did not happen to someone else, but to me. I've set it down as best I can remember. Whether you believe it or not, is up to you. ~ Mikey Campling
Rumours quotes by Mikey Campling
Before the real city could be seen it had to be imagined, the way rumours and tall tales were a kind of charting. ~ Michael Ondaatje
Rumours quotes by Michael Ondaatje
Dear friend…'

The Witcher swore quietly, looking at the sharp, angular, even runes drawn with energetic sweeps of the pen, faultlessly reflecting the author's mood. He felt once again the desire to try to bite his own backside in fury. When he was writing to the sorceress a month ago he had spent two nights in a row contemplating how best to begin. Finally, he had decided on "Dear friend." Now he had his just deserts.

'Dear friend, your unexpected letter – which I received not quite three years after we last saw each other – has given me much joy. My joy is all the greater as various rumours have been circulating about your sudden and violent death. It is a good thing that you have decided to disclaim them by writing to me; it is a good thing, too, that you are doing so so soon. From your letter it appears that you have lived a peaceful, wonderfully boring life, devoid of all sensation. These days such a life is a real privilege, dear friend, and I am happy that you have managed to achieve it.

I was touched by the sudden concern which you deigned to show as to my health, dear friend. I hasten with the news that, yes, I now feel well; the period of indisposition is behind me, I have dealt with the difficulties, the description of which I shall not bore you with. It worries and troubles me very much that the unexpected present you received from Fate brings you worries. Your supposition that this requires professional help is absolutely correct. ~ Andrzej Sapkowski
Rumours quotes by Andrzej Sapkowski
Wild rumours abound, wherever there is any adequate reality for them to cling to. ~ Herman Melville
Rumours quotes by Herman Melville
The life of Dumas is not only a monument of endeavour and success, it is a sort of labyrinth as well. It abounds in pseudonyms and disguises, in sudden and unexpected appearances and retreats as unexpected and sudden, in scandals and in rumours, in mysteries and traps and ambuscades of every kind. ~ William Ernest Henley
Rumours quotes by William Ernest Henley
No whispered rumours which the many spread can wholly perish. ~ Hesiod
Rumours quotes by Hesiod
We are entering an era of heightened disaster, thanks to climate change. Being prepared for disaster will mean being prepared to sift truth from rumour, and being prepared to adjust our worldview. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Rumours quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Conversation often becomes mere verbal performance and oral horseplay rather than fair-minded communication. ("Juicy rumours ") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Rumours quotes by Erik Pevernagie
Yet simple souls, their faith it knows no stint:
Things least to be believed are most preferred.
All counterfeits, as from truth's sacred mint,
Are readily believed if once put down in print ~ John Clare
Rumours quotes by John Clare
You look out into the audience and you see so much joy on people's faces. You make eye contact with people who are almost crying because they can't believe they're seeing the Rumours five back again, they can't believe their eyes. It's almost like a family reunion on stage, there's no angst, there's no animosity, there's just tremendous amount of friendship. ~ Christine McVie
Rumours quotes by Christine McVie
There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist. ~ Terry Pratchett
Rumours quotes by Terry Pratchett
They kept asking me over and over again whether I was
having a romance with Hitler. Are you Hitler's girlfriend?
I laughed and answered the same way each time: No, those
are false rumours. I only made documentaries for him ... ~ Leni Riefenstahl
Rumours quotes by Leni Riefenstahl
I admit, I bear my share of the responsibility for their getting it all wrong, so I guess I'm just going to tell this story as if you knew nothing, because, in reality, even if you read every single article published up to the moment of the big announcement, about the truth, you do know nothing. ~ David Clawson
Rumours quotes by David Clawson
On the Hugh Grant romance rumours: We're not dating and I'm not pregnant. We have not kissed or touched. We have not fought and broken up. ~ Sandra Bullock
Rumours quotes by Sandra Bullock
They began to invent humourless, glum jokes of their own and disastrous rumours about the destruction awaiting them at Bologna.
Yossarian sidled up drunkenly to Colonel Korn at the officers' club one night to kid with him about the new Lepage gun that the Germans had moved in.
'What Lepage gun?' Colonle Korn inquired with curiousity.
'The new three-hundred-and-forty-four-millimeter Lepage glue gun,' Yossarian answered. 'It glues a whole formation of planes together in mid-air.'
Colonel Korn jerked his elbow free from Yossarian's clutching fingers in startled affront. 'Let go of me, you idiot!' he cried out furiously, glaring with vindictive approval as Nately leaped upon Yossarian's back and pulled him away.
'Who is that lunatic anyway?'
Colonel Cathcart chortled merrily. 'That's the man you made me give a medal to after Ferrara. You had me promote him to captain, too, remember? It serves you right.'
Nately was lighter than Yossarian and had great difficulty maneuvering Yossarian's luching bulk across the room to an unoccupied table. 'Are you crazy?' Nately kept hissing with trepidation. 'That was Colonel Korn. Are you crazy?'
Yossarian wanted another drink and promised to leave quietly if Nately bought him one. Then he made Nately bring him two more. When Nately finally coaxed him to the door, Captain Black came stomping in from outside, banging his sloshing shoes down hard on the wood floor and spilling water from his eaves like a hig ~ Joseph Heller
Rumours quotes by Joseph Heller
It will be enough to say here that if one of those medieval wars had really gone on without stopping for a century, it might possibly have come within a remote distance of killing as many people as we kill in a year, in one of our great modern scientific wars between our great modern industrial empires. But the citizens of the medieval republic were certainly under the limitation of only being asked to die for the things with which they had always lived, the house they inhabited, the shrines they venerated and the rulers and representatives they new; and had not the larger vision calling for them to die for the latest rumours about remote colonies as reported in anonymous newspapers. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Rumours quotes by G.K. Chesterton
A deceitful tongue will always be good at twisting the truth. ~ Dennis Adonis
Rumours quotes by Dennis Adonis
Will you see Pulp again? Who knows. I'm not stoking those particular rumours. ~ Jarvis Cocker
Rumours quotes by Jarvis Cocker
By 1900, a small white minority radiating out from Europe would come to control most of world's land surface, imposing the imperatives of a commercial economy and international trade on Asia's mainly agrarian societies. Europeans backed by garrisons and gunboats could intervene in the affairs of any Asian country they wished to. They were free to transport millions of Asian labourers to far-off colonies (Indians to the Malay Peninsula, Chinese to Trinidad); exact the raw materials and commodities they needed for their industries from Asian economies; and flood local markets with their manufactured products. The peasant in his village and the market trader in his town were being forced to abandon a life defined by religion, family and tradition amid rumours of powerful white men with a strange god-on-a-cross who were reshaping the world- men who married moral aggressiveness with compact and coherent nation-states, the profit motive and superior weaponry, and made Asian societies seem lumberingly inept in every way, unable to match the power of Europe or unleash their own potential. ~ Pankaj Mishra
Rumours quotes by Pankaj Mishra
Twitter is wonderful. You can kill rumours instantly. ~ Eli Roth
Rumours quotes by Eli Roth
Yet in the blood of man there is a tide, an old sea-current rather, that is somehow akin to the twilight, which brings him rumours of beauty from however far away, as driftwood is found at sea from islands not yet discovered: and this spring-tide or current that visits the blood of man comes from the fabulous quarter of his lineage, from the legendary, the old; it takes him out to the woodlands, out to the hills; he listens to ancient song. ~ Lord Dunsany
Rumours quotes by Lord Dunsany
Some people like drama so much that they have to start inventing things because real life isn't interesting enough for them. ~ Lisa Ballantyne
Rumours quotes by Lisa Ballantyne
We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously. ~ Christine McVie
Rumours quotes by Christine McVie
The principles of catching rumours were, in fact, similar to the principals of catching dreams, but because rumour was weightier, the catcher had to be positioned closer to the ground. Rumour flew low, dreams flew high, and somewhere in between were prayers. ~ Sarah Winman
Rumours quotes by Sarah Winman
Look, this is all very, very weird. Why are you focusing on rumours and urban legends? You haven't even asked me any
normal questions."
"Normal questions? Like what?"
"Like, I don't know, like if Lynch had any enemies."
"Did Lynch have any enemies?"
"Well, not that I know of, no."
"Then there really was no point in me asking that, was there? Unless you wanted to distract me. You didn't want to distract me, did you, Kenny?"
"No, that's not - "
"Are you playing a game with me, Kenny?"
"I don't know what you're - "
Inspector Me leaned forward. "Did you kill him?"
"No!"
"It'd be OK if you did."
Kenny recoiled, horrified. "How would that be OK?"
"Well," Me said, "maybe not ~ Derek Landy
Rumours quotes by Derek Landy
Rumours voiced by women come to nothing. ~ Aeschylus
Rumours quotes by Aeschylus
You're hopeless dumb
if you blindly tweet rumours
and get ripped on-line. ~ Ibnu Din Assingkiri
Rumours quotes by Ibnu Din Assingkiri
Facts are often misleading; Rumours on the contrary , true or false, are often revealing. ~ Col. Hans Landa
Rumours quotes by Col. Hans Landa
I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumours to my dogs. ~ Andy Warhol
Rumours quotes by Andy Warhol
Oh, Captain Aubrey,' cried she, 'I have a service to beg of you.'
Mrs Fielding had but to command, said Jack, smiling at her with great affection; he was at her orders entirely - very happy - delighted - could not be more so.
'Why then,' she said, 'you know I am a little talkative - the dear Doctor has often said so, desiring me to peep down - but alas I am not at all writative, at least not in English. English spelling! Corpo di Baccho, English spelling! Now if I give you a dictation and you write it down in good English, I can use the words when I write to my husband.'
'Very well,' said Jack, his smile fading.
It was just as he had feared: and he must have been quite mistaken about the signals.
Mr Fielding was to understand that the excellent Captain Aubrey had saved Ponto from being drowned: Ponto now doted upon Captain Aubrey and ran up to him in the street. Wicked people therefore said that Captain Aubrey was Laura's lover. Should these rumours reach Mr Fielding he was to pay no attention. On the contrary. Captain Aubrey was an honourable man, who would scorn to insult a brother-officer's wife with dishonest proposals; indeed she had such confidence in his perfect rectitude that she could visit him without even the protection of a maid. Captain Aubrey knew very well that she would not ply the oar.
'Ply the oar, ma'am?' said Jack, looking up from his paper, his pen poised.
'Is it not right? I was so proud of it.'
'Oh yes,' said Jack ~ Patrick O'Brian
Rumours quotes by Patrick O'Brian
Fascinating to watch the reactions of people suddenly seized by fear. Some can't take it. They let themselves go to a point of hysteria, then in panic flee to - God knows where. Most take it, with various degrees of courage and coolness. In the lobby tonight: the newspapermen milling around trying to get telephone calls through the one lone operator. Jews excitedly trying to book on the last plane or train. The wildest rumours coming in with every new person that steps through the revolving door from outside, all of us gathering around to listen, believing or disbelieving according to our feelings. ~ William L. Shirer
Rumours quotes by William L. Shirer
The rumours, as usual, didn't take into account the complexity, much less the truth. ~ Lisa Taddeo
Rumours quotes by Lisa Taddeo
The image of a wood has appeared often enough in English verse. It has indeed appeared so often that it has gathered a good deal of verse into itself; so that it has become a great forest where, with long leagues of changing green between them, strange episodes of poetry have taken place. Thus in one part there are lovers of a midsummer night, or by day a duke and his followers, and in another men behind branches so that the wood seems moving, and in another a girl separated from her two lordly young brothers, and in another a poet listening to a nightingale but rather dreaming richly of the grand art than there exploring it, and there are other inhabitants, belonging even more closely to the wood, dryads, fairies, an enchanter's rout. The forest itself has different names in different tongues- Westermain, Arden, Birnam, Broceliande; and in places there are separate trees named, such as that on the outskirts against which a young Northern poet saw a spectral wanderer leaning, or, in the unexplored centre of which only rumours reach even poetry, Igdrasil of one myth, or the Trees of Knowledge and Life of another. So that indeed the whole earth seems to become this one enormous forest, and our longest and most stable civilizations are only clearings in the midst of it. ~ Charles Williams
Rumours quotes by Charles  Williams
It was one of those rare occasions when the true story is even more strange and exciting than the wild rumours. ~ J.K. Rowling
Rumours quotes by J.K. Rowling
9 November 1989. A day nobody would forget. She had heard rumours about the wall. ~ F.C. Malby
Rumours quotes by F.C. Malby
People are always going to say stuff about you and there are always going to be crazy rumours out there, but as long as you know the truth, you're fine. ~ Vanessa Hudgens
Rumours quotes by Vanessa Hudgens
Rumour has a hundred mouths. ~ Paul Verlaine
Rumours quotes by Paul Verlaine
After the many rumours that we had heard about Hitler and the published criticisms we had read about him, we were pleasantly impressed. His appearance was neither pretentious nor affected. ~ Hjalmar Schacht
Rumours quotes by Hjalmar Schacht
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated. ~ Elon Musk
Rumours quotes by Elon Musk
It is not many things that modern psychology agress upon, but all the different approaches of psychology agrees on one thing: that people in groups become more stupid. Individually people are more intelligent, because they have to take their own responsibility, but in a group they do not have to take the same responsibility.
The two basic power strategies to try to manipulate and gain control over another person are: silencing and attacking. Silencing means to not listen to, to exclude or ignore and not respect a person. Attack can both mean to attack a person directly or to try to discredit a person through lies, to ridicule a person or by spreading malicious rumours.
All organizations are more or less dysfunctional. In a dysfunctional group, the members of the group play three different roles: agressor, denier and victim. The agressor is the role that attack and ridicule people, the denier never knows what is going on, there is "no body at home", and the victim is the resultat of these two roles.
It is always easier to follow a group without awareness, than to follow your own heart, to trust your own intelligence, love, truth, silence and creativity. ~ Swami Dhyan Giten
Rumours quotes by Swami Dhyan Giten
History is the distillation of rumour. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Rumours quotes by Thomas Carlyle
I know there are rumours concerning my 'breakup' with Brody Jenner. The truth is, we were never really together. We hung out, and he's a nice guy, but my heart was never in it. Anything further is just a cry for publicity. ~ Nicole Richie
Rumours quotes by Nicole Richie
Above the dark town
After the sun's gone down
Two vapour trails cross the sky
Catching the day's last slow goodbye
Black skyline looks rich as velvet
Something is shining
Like gold but better
Rumours of glory... ~ Bruce Cockburn
Rumours quotes by Bruce Cockburn
I never talk about my personal life. After these rumours, I definitely do not want to comment on anything. ~ Ajay Devgan
Rumours quotes by Ajay Devgan
I'm not quite sure where the sponsorship rumour came from ... probably because I have been a spokesperson for child sponsorship so people just assumed that was the connection. ~ Brooke Fraser
Rumours quotes by Brooke Fraser
The stacks keeps you on your toes. Besides which, there are rumours of ape-men living down here; I don't know how the rumours got started, but this place is more than somewhat creepy when you're on your own late at night. ~ Charles Stross
Rumours quotes by Charles Stross
Next week we'll be investigating rumours that the president of the dairy council has become a Mason, and goes around giving his colleagues the 'secret milkshake.' ~ Ronnie Barker
Rumours quotes by Ronnie Barker
An idle tongue is the mother of all conflicts. ~ Dennis E. Adonis
Rumours quotes by Dennis E. Adonis
Rumours arrive at a wedding like unwanted guests ~ Aruni Kashyap
Rumours quotes by Aruni Kashyap
Rumour was the messenger
Of defamation, and so swift, that none
Could be the first to tell an evil tale. ~ Robert Pollok
Rumours quotes by Robert Pollok
The first spring in five free from the rumour of guns across the Channel, a spring anxious to make up for the cold winter, life bursting out after four years of death. All of England raised her face to the sun ... ~ Laurie R. King
Rumours quotes by Laurie R. King
The reason why Jane's spirit was not broken was that she had a secret. It was her own special secret and she had told no one else except Peggy. She locked it in her heart and hugged it to herself. It was this glorious secret that filled her with such irrepressible joy and exhilaration. But it was also to be the cause of her greatest disaster, and her life-long grief.
The rumour that her father was a high-born gentleman in Parliament must have reached Jane's ears when she was a little girl. Perhaps she had heard the officers talking about it, or perhaps another child had heard the adults talking and told her. Perhaps Jane's mother had told another workhouse inmate, who had passed it on. One can never tell how rumours start.
To Jane, it was not a rumour. It was an absolute fact. Her daddy was a high-born gentleman, who one day would come and take her away. She fantasised endlessly about her daddy. She talked to him, and he talked to her. ~ Jennifer Worth
Rumours quotes by Jennifer Worth
The trainee knew he should leave, but he was unable to look away. He'd never seen anything snap out so fast or strike so hard as the male's fists. Obviously, the rumours about the instructor were all true. He was a flat-out killer.
With a metal clank, a door opened at the other end of the gym, and the sound of a newborn's cries echoed up into the high ceiling. The warrior stopped in midpunch and wheeled around as a lovely female carrying young in a pink blanket came over to him. His face softened, positively melted. ~ J.R. Ward
Rumours quotes by J.R. Ward
Rumours should be juicy and gossips must be mouth-watering, since they have to uplift and make people feel better. Tittle-tattle can have a swift ripple effect and when the ball is rolling very fast, it kick-starts a flood of moral destruction. "Schadenfreude" can, then, be fully enjoyed. ("Juicy rumours") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Rumours quotes by Erik Pevernagie
I was adopting an Ethiopian child, that's not true. My house was haunted, that wasn't true. God, there's been so many rumours. ~ Adele
Rumours quotes by Adele
There is nothing more cruel than talk, and there is nothing more difficult to combat. When people say things behind your back there is nothing you can refute or deny, and the rumours go on growing and growing, and no one can stop them. ~ Agatha Christie
Rumours quotes by Agatha Christie
In Hollywood, I'm obese. I'm considered a fat actress. I eat like a caveman. I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumours! I'm never going to starve myself for a part. I'm invincible. I don't want little girls to be like, "Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner." ~ Jennifer Lawrence
Rumours quotes by Jennifer Lawrence
Rumours are like sexually transmitted diseases, both are spread by whores. ~ Habeeb Akande
Rumours quotes by Habeeb Akande
You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour. ~ Werner Herzog
Rumours quotes by Werner Herzog
People who believed the world to be an undignified,
inglorious place, and who spent their evenings and nights
talking on and on about the mistakes others had made. They were
people whom solitude had made into the judges of the world,
whose verdicts were scattered to the four winds for whoever cared
to listen ~ Paulo Coelho
Rumours quotes by Paulo Coelho
Her father had taught her about hands. About a dog's paws. Whenever her father was alone with a dog in a house he would lean over and smell the skin at the base of its paw. This, he would say, as if coming away from a brandy snifter, is the greatest smell in the world! A bouquet! Great rumours of travel! She would pretend disgust, but the dog's paw was a wonder: the smell of it never suggested dirt. It's a cathedral! her father had said, so-and-so's garden, that field of grasses, a walk through cyclamen
a concentration of hints of all the paths the animal had taken during the day. ~ Michael Ondaatje
Rumours quotes by Michael Ondaatje
My voice is like a rumour. I'm not sure if it came out or not, or if it is true. ~ Markus Zusak
Rumours quotes by Markus Zusak
Clegg, Miliband, Farage resigning (rumours that they are to be the new Top Gear line-up cannot be confirmed at this time). ~ Charles Stross
Rumours quotes by Charles Stross
In the dark that followed - Lucy said; where I was born, the trees were always in the sun. And I left that place because it was intolerant of rain. Now, we are here in a place where there are no trees and there is only rain. And I intend to leave this place - because it is intolerant of light. Somewhere - there must be somewhere where darkness and light are reconciled. So I am starting a rumour, here and now, of yet another world. I don't know when it will present itself - I don't know where it will be. But - as with all those other worlds now past when it is ready, I intend to go there. ~ Timothy Findley
Rumours quotes by Timothy Findley
Promise of secrecy was made at the time, from which I have only been freed during the last month by the untimely death of the lady to whom the pledge was given. It is perhaps as well that the facts should now come to light, for I have reasons to know that there are widespread rumours ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Rumours quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
If you haven't heard a good rumour by 11:00am, start one. ~ Billy Connolly
Rumours quotes by Billy Connolly
The court of public opinion moves much faster than the law. ~ T.E. Carter
Rumours quotes by T.E. Carter
Therefore, Sir Walter, what I would take leave to suggest is, that if in consequence of any rumours getting abroad of your intention; which must be contemplated as a possible thing, because we know how difficult it is to keep the actions and designs of one part of the world from the notice and curiosity of the other; consequence has its tax; I, John Shepherd, might conceal any family-matters that I chose, for nobody would think it worth their while to observe me; but Sir Walter Elliot has eyes upon him which it may be very difficult to elude; and therefore, thus much I venture upon, that it will not greatly surprise me if, with all our caution, some rumour of the truth should get abroad; in the supposition of which, as I was going to observe, since applications will unquestionably follow, I should think any from our wealthy naval commanders particularly worth attending to; and beg leave to add, that two hours will bring me over at any time, to save you the trouble of replying. ~ Jane Austen
Rumours quotes by Jane Austen
When rumours increase, and when there is an abundance of noise and clamour, believe the second report. ~ Alexander Pope
Rumours quotes by Alexander Pope
I didn't have time. I was too busy breaking up Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage. (on rumours he was responsible for Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt's break-up) ~ George Clooney
Rumours quotes by George Clooney
Maybe we are a little crazy. After all, we believe in things we don't see. The Scriptures say that faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1). We believe poverty can end even though it is all around us. We believe in peace even though we hear only rumours of wars. And since we are people of expectation, we are so convinced that another world is coming that we start living as if it were already here. ~ Shane Claiborne
Rumours quotes by Shane Claiborne
The biggest liar in the world is They Say. ~ Douglas Malloch
Rumours quotes by Douglas Malloch
The desert, where there is the communal book of moonlight. We were among the rumour of wells. In the palace of winds. ~ Michael Ondaatje
Rumours quotes by Michael Ondaatje
A lot of rumours on the Internet are wrong and horrible. ~ Carine Roitfeld
Rumours quotes by Carine Roitfeld
The Christmas just before I turned four, my parents bought me a pair of little black skates and the Bay of Quinte was frozen and my two sisters took me out there and held my hands and taught me to skate. Now I don't know if this is true-although it sounds good!-but rumour has it by the end of the day they couldn't keep up with me. ~ Bobby Hull
Rumours quotes by Bobby Hull
My past conduct was so transparent and so honest that when my enemies spread rumours about me nobody believed them. ~ Amit Kalantri
Rumours quotes by Amit Kalantri
I hate to spread rumours, but what else can one do with them? ~ Amanda Lear
Rumours quotes by Amanda Lear
Tell him I write of worms and corruption, because I like worms and corruption. Tell him I believe in the fundamental wickedness and worthlessness of man, & in the rot in life. Tell him I am all for cancers. And tell him, too, that I loathe poetry. I'd prefer to be an anatomist or the keeper of a morgue any day. Tell him I live exclusively on toenails and rumours. I sleep in a coffin too, and a wormy shroud is my summer suit. ~ Dylan Thomas
Rumours quotes by Dylan Thomas
Her clear conscience mocked rumour's mendacity, But we are a mob prone to credit sin. ~ Ovid
Rumours quotes by Ovid
I was 15 years old when I first heard the name Mandela, or Madiba, as he is fondly known in Africa. In apartheid South Africa he was public enemy number one. Shrouded in secrecy, myth and rumour, the media called him 'The Black Pimpernel'. ~ Kumi Naidoo
Rumours quotes by Kumi Naidoo
There are rumours of fractions within the Palace dressing room. ~ Shaun Derry
Rumours quotes by Shaun Derry
Some writing courses will advise you to write what you know. I've always thought this is very odd advice ... because it means, for example, that I should not be writing about Nicholas Flamel, because I didn't live in France in the 15th Century, I was not an alchemyst, am not immortal (despite the rumours) and do not know magic. ~ Michael Scott
Rumours quotes by Michael Scott
We spend so much time on the whole world instead of on those who really need us, in a world where rumours are a trend and truth is an afterthought. ~ Pandora Poikilos
Rumours quotes by Pandora Poikilos
Being rich and powerful does that to you. You don't get a chance to offer any clarification because people dare not ask you a thing. They would prefer to hear someone else's half truth, then make up the other half, and then whisper a twisted version in someone else's ear. The whole matter gets distorted in no time, so much so, that it no longer resembles the actual facts. ~ Neena H. Brar
Rumours quotes by Neena H. Brar
Rumours crop in the short summer nights. Dawn finds them like mushrooms
in the damp grass. Members of Thomas Cromwell's household have been seeking a midwife in the small hours of the morning. He is hiding a woman at some country house of his, a foreign woman who has given him a daughter.
Whatever you do, he says to Rafe, don't defend my honour. I have women like that all over the place.
They will believe it, Rafe says. The word in the city is that Thomas Cromwell has a prodigious ...
Memory, he says. I have a very large ledger. A huge filing system, in which are recorded (under their name, and also under their offence) the details of people who have cut across me. ~ Hilary Mantel
Rumours quotes by Hilary Mantel
Young man, nature is not frightening, it's people who are frightening! You just need to get to know nature and it will become friendly. This creature known as man is of course highly intelligent, he's capable of manufacturing almost anything from rumours to test-tube babies and yet he destroys two to three species every day. This is the absurdity of man. ~ Gao Xingjian
Rumours quotes by Gao Xingjian
her proficiency in the Classics would somehow stand her in better stead when opening and closing filing-cabinet drawers and conducting endless searches among a sea of buff-coloured folders. It wasn't quite the 'interesting job' she had envisaged but it kept her attention and over the next ten years she rose slowly through the ranks, in the bridled way that women did. ('One day a woman will be Prime Minister,' Pamela said. 'Maybe even in our lifetime.') Now Ursula had her own junior clericals to chase down the buff folders for her. She supposed that was progress. Since '36 she'd been working in the Air Raid Precautions Department. 'You've not heard rumours then?' Pamela said. 'I'm a lowly squaw, I hear nothing but rumours.' 'Maurice can't say what he does,' Pamela grumbled. 'Couldn't ~ Kate Atkinson
Rumours quotes by Kate Atkinson
Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows
sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips. ~ Terry Pratchett
Rumours quotes by Terry Pratchett
these fond parents were not blind to the value of education it was that they realized only its external value. That is to say, they could not look beyond the fact that education enabled folk to get on in the world so far as the acquisition of rank, crosses, and money was concerned.
Certain evil rumours had arisen regarding the necessity of learning not only one's letters, but also various branches of science which until now had remained unknown to the world of Oblomovka; but, as I say, the good folk of that place had only the dimmest, the remotest, comprehension of any internal demand for education, and therefore desired to secure for their little Ilya only certain showy advantages, and no more--to wit, a fine uniform, and the getting of him into the Civil Service (his mother even foresaw him become a provincial governor!). ~ Ivan Goncharov
Rumours quotes by Ivan Goncharov
It has been suggested by some people in this country that I and my Government will be a 'soft touch' in the Community. In case such a rumour may have reached your ears, Mr Chancellor, it is only fair to advise you frankly to dismiss it, as my colleagues did long ago! I intend to be very discriminating in judging what are British interests and I shall be resolute in defending them. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Rumours quotes by Margaret Thatcher
What people do in their beds', Hitler used to say, 'does not interest me so long as relationships do not prejudice the State and its leadership.' And he kept to that. Rumours ~ Heinz Linge
Rumours quotes by Heinz Linge
Sometimes in the far distance there were enormous explosions which no one could explain and about which there were wild rumours. The new tune which was to be the theme-song ~ George Orwell
Rumours quotes by George Orwell
The four had rented a riverside cottage and lived together there as two couples. Their vice was public, official and perfectly obvious to all. It was referred to quite naturally as something entirely normal. There were rumours about jealous scenes that took place there and about the various actresses and other famous women who frequented the little cottage near the water's edge. One neighbour, scandalized by the goings-on, alerted the police at one stage and an inspector accompanied by one of his men came to make enquiries. It was a delicate mission: there was nothing the women could be prosecuted for, least of all prostitution. The inspector was deeply puzzled and could not understand what these alleged misdemeanours could possibly be. He asked a whole lot of pointless questions, compiled a lengthy report and dismissed the charges out of hand. The joke spread as far as Saint-Germain. ~ Guy De Maupassant
Rumours quotes by Guy De Maupassant
Ironically, that was quite a bit of the appeal of Rumours. It's equally interesting on a musical level and as a soap opera. ~ Lindsey Buckingham
