Reclaiming my voice

I just finished reading Queen of Babble a couple of days ago, and apart from the bimbotic funness of it, I think it's nice. Meg Cabot knows how to enrich the book by imparting certain quotes and also excerpts on vintage fashion that makes the book a whole lot interesting.

What totally capture my attention would be some quotes.

Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), Anglo-Irish playwright, novelist and poet. Woo this is Oscar Wilde sayin'.

Never to talk about ourselves is a very noble piece of hypocricy.
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German Philosopher, classical scholar, and critic.

Anyone who has obeyed nature by transmitting a piece of gossip experiences the explosive relief that accompanies the satisfying of a primary need.
- Primo Levi (1919-1987), Italian chemist and author.

Talk is pure art. Its only limits are the patience of listeners who, when they get tired, can always pay for their coffee or change it with a friendly waiter and walk out.
- John Dos Passos (1896-1970), U.S Novelist, poet, playwright, and painter

It is vain to keep a secret from one who has the right to know it. It will tell itself.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), U.S essayist, poet, and philosopher.

Man, truly the animal that talks, is the only one that needs conversations to propagate its species ... In love, conversations play an almost greater role than anything else. Love is the most talkative of all feelings and consists to a great extent completely of talktativeness.
- Robert Musil (1880-1942), Austrian author I like this one the most (:
