Famous quotes containing the words professional, passing and/or statistics:

    “Three words that still have meaning, that I think we can apply to all professional writing, are discovery, originality, invention. The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Hats off!
    The flag is passing by!”
    —Henry Holcomb Bennett (1863–1924)

    “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)
