Order Statistics

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or statistics:

“Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
