Famous quotes containing the word statistics:

    “We ask for no statistics of the killed,
    For nothing political impinges on
    This single casualty, or all those gone,
    Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
    Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “and Olaf, too

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

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