Where do rumors come from, Sir Kofa?" i was truly curious to know the answer." Where don't they come from? I suppose the majority of rumors are a combination of leaked information and the astouding imaginations of numerous storytellers.

About This Quote

The story, "Where do rumors come from?" was originally written by William Safire in his book, "Before I Sleep". It was later expanded in the book, "On Language" by George Orwell. Safire's original question is generally considered to be tongue-in-cheek. However, the question remains relevant because it shows how rumors can spread like wildfire.
