“Rumor exaggerates.”
“Doctor Jones, we're all vulnerable to vicious rumors. I seem to remember that in Honduras you were accused of being a grave robber rather than an archaeologist.Indy: Well, the newspapers greatly exaggerated the incident.”
“Don't forget this, too: Rumors aren't interested in the unsensational story; rumors don't care what's true.”
“A week went by and nothing. But eventually, as they always will, the rumors reached me. And everyone knows you can't disprove a rumor.”
“Memory... is an internal rumor.”
“As the death of the writer exaggerates the role of his work, the death of a person exaggerates the role of his effect on us.”
