Famous quotes containing the words official, teaching and/or statistics:

    All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    May my teaching drop like the rain, my speech condense like the dew; like gentle rain on grass, like showers on new growth.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 32:2.

    and Olaf, too

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
