Famous quotes containing the word statistics:

    “We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    “He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts—for support rather than illumination.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
