Raw Statistics

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or statistics:

    We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life, and often find ourselves without experience, despite our years.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    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)
