Famous quotes containing the words vital and/or statistics:
“All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Maybe a nation that consumes as much booze and dope as we do and has our kind of divorce statistics should pipe down about “character issues.” Either that or just go ahead and determine the presidency with three-legged races and pie-eating contests. It would make better TV.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
