There is something inhuman and vaguely pornographic about statistics... Pornography, on the other hand, with its loosely bound sequences of storyless sexual couplings often has the feel of a statistical survey.

We ourselves are co-called non-linear dynamical systems... I don't feel quite so pathetic when I interrupt a project to check on some obscure web site or newsgroup or derive an iota of cheer by getting rid of pocketful of change.

The Internet is the world's largest library. It's just that all the books are on the floor.

Certainty a strange Ferris wheel of a statement!

In listening to stories we tend to suspend disbelief in order to be entertained, whereas in evaluating statistics we generally have an opposite inclination to suspend belief in order not to be beguiled.

Uncertainty would be the only certainty there's, and realizing how to stay with insecurity could be the only protection

Data, data everywhere, but not a thought to think.
