Famous quotes containing the words data and/or types:

    To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.
