Chatter

Famous quotes containing the word chatter:

“Gossip isn’t scandal and it’s not merely malicious. It’s chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the scientist, and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

“Those who have nothing to say chatter endlessly.”
—Chinese proverb.

“A wise man does not chatter with one whose mind is sick.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
