• You maintain hope for humanity as an infinite skeptic of gossip and slander. In all mankind's desires for entertainment and exaggeration and sensationalism, when it comes to gossip, the individual always sounds worse than he really is. This is why adhering to gossip subtly affects the mental state of the listener - he goes on holding shady opinions regardless of where the realities of their lights and darknesses may stand.

• I find it shocking that anybody can be brought down in D.C. for gossip, ostensibly. I thought that was the coin of the realm there. That's like getting hit with lightning on a cloudless day.

• While you're meditating, all kinds of thoughts arise... You don't find your thoughts threatening or particularly helpful. They just become the general gossip of your thoughts. This traffic of your thoughts and the verbosity of your mind are simply part of the basic chatter that goes on in the universe. Just let it go through.

• It is one of the sublime provincialities of New York that its inhabitants lap up trivial gossip about essential nobodies they've never set eyes on, while continuing to boast that they could live somewhere for twenty years without so much as exchanging pleasantries with their neighbors across the hall.

• La opinión pública contiene todo tipo de falsedades y verdades, pero hace falta un gran hombre para encontrar la verdad en ella. El gran hombre de la época es el que puede expresar con palabras la voluntad de su época, decir a su época cuál es su voluntad y cumplirla. Lo que hace es el corazón y la esencia de su época, actualiza su época. El hombre que carece del sentido común suficiente para despreciar la opinión pública expresada en chismes nunca hará nada grande.

  Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

• Ivanov: Antes trabajaba mucho y pensaba mucho, pero nunca me cansaba; ahora no hago nada ni pienso en nada, pero estoy cansado en cuerpo y espíritu. Me duele la conciencia día y noche, me siento profundamente culpable pero no comprendo en qué tengo realmente la culpa. Y a eso añádele la enfermedad de mi mujer, mi falta de dinero, las constantes discusiones, cotilleos, conversaciones innecesarias, ese estúpido de Borkin.... Mi casa se me ha vuelto repugnante y vivir allí me parece peor que una tortura.

  Anton Chekhov

• Igual que caminaba por el bosque para ver los pájaros y las ardillas, caminaba por el pueblo para ver a los hombres y a los niños; en lugar del viento entre los pinos oía el traqueteo de los carros. En una dirección de mi casa había una colonia de ratas almizcleras en los prados del río; bajo la arboleda de olmos y abotonados en el otro horizonte había una aldea de hombres atareados, tan curiosos para mí como si hubieran sido perros de pradera, cada uno sentado en la boca de su madriguera, o corriendo a la de un vecino para cotillear. Iba allí con frecuencia para observar sus costumbres.

• Somos víctimas de la publicidad. Los que prueban las alegrías y las penas de la fama cuando han pasado de los cuarenta, saben cuidarse. Saben lo que se oculta bajo las flores, y lo que valen las habladurías, las calumnias y los elogios. Pero los que ganan la fama a los veinte años, no saben nada y se ven atrapados en el torbellino.

  Sarah Bernhardt

• The technology broadens an individual's social field massively and at the same time makes it much, much easier and cheaper to consume gossip. We have the same appetite for gossip, but now its acquisition is even easier than grabbing sugary and fatty foods off a supermarket shelf. And look where that got us. When you watch people in public desperately punching away at their machines, it's hard not to think of addictions.
