Famous quotes containing the words vital and/or statistics:
“Just because multiples can turn to each other for companionship, and at times for comfort, dont be fooled into thinking youre not still vital to them. Dont let or make multiples be parents as well as siblings to each other. . . . Parent interaction with infants and young children has everything to do with how those children develop on every level, including how they develop their identities.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-postsfor support rather than illumination.”
—Andrew Lang (18441912)
