Famous quotes containing the word statistics:

    “Maybe a nation that consumes as much booze and dope as we do and has our kind of divorce statistics should pipe down about “character issues.” Either that or just go ahead and determine the presidency with three-legged races and pie-eating contests. It would make better TV.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)
