“Rumors spread faster than news and news spreads faster than the happenings”
“In California there were nuggets the size of walnuts lying on the ground—or so it was said, and truth travels slowly when rumors have wings of gold.”
“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late.”
“The faster we travel, the less there is to see.”
“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.”
