I believe all literature started as gossip.

Rita Mae Brown (1944-)

Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.

Vladimir Iljitj Lenin (1870-1924)

Vladimir Lenin

Its like the old economic theory about money ? bad gossip, it seems, drives out good gossip. We get every detail of the dress that the latest anorexic bombshell on the red carpet is wearing. We know entirely too much about these people.

Liz Smith (1923-)

We're told we're not supposed to gossip, that our reputation plummets, but in this context there may be an expectation that you should gossip: you're obligated to tell, like an informal version of the honor code at military academies,

Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a mans. It is in the boys gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.

While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.

Andrea Dworkin (1946-)

He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic. Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the scientist, and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past.

Phyllis McGinley (1905-1978)

Phyllis McGinley

I don't know what they are talking about, ... I serve at the pleasure of the president. The president and I have not discussed anything other than my continuing to do my job for him, and this is just one of those stories that emerge in Washington that reflects nothing more than gossip, and the gossip leads to a rash of speculation about who might fill a vacancy that does not exist.

Colin Powell (1937-)

Colin Powell
