"I usually get my stuff from people..." - Quote by Walter Winchell

“Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you.”

“Today's gossip is tomorrow's headline.”

“Too many people expect wonders from democracy, when the most wonderful thing of all is just having it.”

“Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.”

“I guess the negative thing that happens to me is that I'm old now. They said there was a generation I was too young for and now some will say there's probably 10 generations I'm too old for. They'll say, isn't he dead or retired or whatever? Or it just becomes fashionable to say "Oh he's not funny anymore," which, I don't know, maybe to them I'm not. I'm more likely to hear that now than I am to hear that I'm unacceptably risqué.”

“I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."”

“I've learned that we're all entitled to have our secrets.”

“I feel that if I kept it secret it might grow in my mind (as poisonous things grow in the dark) and take its place with the other terrible thoughts that gnaw me”

“There is no privacy that cannot be penetrated. No secret can be kept in the civilized world. Society is a masked ball where everyone hides his real character, then reveals it by hiding”
