Famous quotes containing the words population and/or statistics:

    “The population question is the real riddle of the sphinx, to which no political Oedipus has as yet found the answer. In view of the ravages of the terrible monster over-multiplication, all other riddle sink into insignificance.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.”
