Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or statistics:

    “Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
