Statistics/history

Famous quotes containing the words statistics and/or history:

“We ask for no statistics of the killed,
For nothing political impinges on
This single casualty, or all those gone,
Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
