Famous quotes

  • « I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so,' no one says 'you're so moody,' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass, and I'm very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in. »
    Denise Mina
  • « Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid. »
    Homer
  • « Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid. »
    Walter Winchell
