I hear theres rumors on the Internets that were going to have a draft.  I dont know how many of these Internets are carrying these rumors, but theyre just wrong.  I think the problem here may be more of a question of getting rid of the bad Internets and keeping the good Internets.  You know, cause I think we can all agree … therere just too many Internets.  Will Forte impression of George W Bush, Saturday Night Live October 2004

 

 

Open your ears; for which of you will stop

The vent of hearing when loud Rumour speaks?  William Shakespeare, II Henry IV Prologue, Rumour

 

Rumour is a pipe

Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures,

And of so easy and so plain a stop

That the blunt monster with uncounted heads,

The still-discordant wavering multitude,

Can play upon it.  ibid.

 

Rumour doth double, like the voice and echo,

The numbers of the fear’d.  ibid.  III i 97

 

 

From Rumour’s tongue they bring smooth comforts false.  Henry VI II, Globe Theatre, prologue, Sky Arts 2012

 

 

I will be gone:

That pitiful rumour may report my flight,

To consolate thine ear.  William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well III ii 129

 

 

I have heard a rumour  that I will soon be addressing my daughter as Her Grace the Duchess of Devonshire.  The Duchess 2008 starring Keira Knightley & Ralph Fiennes & Hayley Atwell & Charlotte Rampling & Dominic Cooper & Aidan McArdle & Simon McBurney & Sebastian Applewhite & Calvin Dean & Emily Jewell & Bruce Mackinnon et al, director Saul Dibb

 

 

Rumour is not always wrong.  Tacitus, Agricola

 

 

Always remember ... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.  Ziad K Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics

 

 

Rumors generally grow deformed as they travel.  Edward Counsel, Maxims

 

 

Even the absurdest report may in nearly every instance be traced to an actual occurrence; and had there been no such actual occurrence, this preposterous misrepresentation of it would never have existed.  Though the distorted or magnified image transmitted to us through the refracting medium of rumour, is utterly unlike the reality; yet in the absence of the reality there would have been no distorted or magnified image.  Herbert Spencer

 

 

Rumors are seen as crimes committed by third parties.  They are perfect crimes and leave not the slightest trace and require no weapons whatsoever – the defense is left without a leg to stand on.  Jean-Noel Kapferer, Rumors: Uses, Interpretations, and Images

 

 

Those who feed on rumors are small, suspicious souls.  Charles R Swindoll, Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life

 

 

Yet rumours are also impervious to verification, for once verified, rumours cease to be so; they are epistomologically empty.  It is for this reason that they tend to be regarded as a kind of subterranean discourse.  Like gossip, rumours present one with the possibility of understanding everything without making the thing one’s own.  By divorcing understanding from ownership, rumours are ineluctably public, condemned to promiscuous circulation (because, again, a rumour ceases to be a rumor once it drops out of circulation) and a kind of illegitimate historicality.  Rumours constitute the noise between those events destined for memorialization.  Vicente L Rafael, White Love and Other Events in Filipino History

 

 

Rumours are transmitted because they are surprising, funny, or shocking, and the teller wishes to entertain the listeners.  Similar to the telling of a joke, the passing of a rumour provides entertainment and prestige.  That is why urban legends last so long: they are savoured at the end of a meal, or in a bar while sipping on an after-dinner drink; they provide a certain momentary pleasure in consuming.  Gail de Vos, Tales, Rumors and Gossip

 

 

Rumours have wings.  Aeschylus, Agamemnon

 

 

Everyone makes their own comments.  Thats how rumors get started.  Venus Williams   

 

 

I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate.  I’m not the one-night-stand kind of girl.  Despite the rumors.  Kim Kardashian

 

 

Idle rumours were also added to well-founded apprehensions.  Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, Pharsalia  

 

 

Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to what he has heard.  Ovid, Metamorphoses XII:57

 

 

The flying rumours gather’d as they roll’d,

Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told;

And all who told it added something new,

And all who heard it made enlargements too.  Alexander Pope, Temple of Fame l468

 

 

Every rumour is believed against the unfortunate.  Syrus, Maxims

 

 

Well I did hear a rumor that the Statue of Liberty has been brought in for questioning.  She may be with Al Qaeda.  Alex Jones, Terrorstorm 

 

 

There are rumours of fractions within the Palace dressing room.  Shaun Derry

 

 

History is a distillation of rumour.  Thomas Carlyle

 

 

That night [20th July 1944] the Führer appeared on the radio to quell the fast-spreading rumours of his demise.  Pope vs Hitler, National Geographic 2016

 

 

Sceptics however pose an important question: If flying saucers are so common, why haven’t we captured one? … A persistent rumour holds that the United States government has recovered and is concealing fragments of alien spacecraft: fragments and more.  In Search of s5e1 … UFO Cover-Ups, 1980
