Famous quotes containing the words vital and/or statistics:
“There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“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)
