“News told, rumors heard, truth implied, facts buried.”
“Rumors spread faster than news and news spreads faster than the happenings”
“I’d heard you were dead.”"I heard you wear a red lace corset,” I said matter-of-factly. “But I don’t believe every bit of nonsense that gets rumored about.”
“I don't really care what people say about me. I'm fine with lies and rumors. It's the truth I don't want being told.”
“I have heard unsavory rumors about you and the umbrella-maker's daughter”
“Remember, any lie you are told, even deliberately, is often a more significant fact than a truth told in all sincerity.”
