Famous quotes containing the words bath and/or statistics:
“A bath and a tenderloin steak. Those are the high points of a man’s life.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)

For nothing political impinges on
This single casualty, or all those gone,
Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
