Famous quotes containing the words population and/or data:

    “It was a time of madness, the sort of mad-hysteria that always presages war. There seems to be nothing left but war—when any population in any sort of a nation gets violently angry, civilization falls down and religion forsakes its hold on the consciences of human kind in such times of public madness.”
    —Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)

    “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)
