Famous quotes containing the words data and/or table:

    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)

    The one happiness is to shut one’s door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life.
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
