This is my favorite part about analytics: Taking boring flat data and bringing it to life through visualization.

There is no data that can be displayed in a pie chart, that cannot be displayed BETTER in some other type of chart.

Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which is often vague, than the exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise.

The best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone's backyard.

The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

It's better to solve the right problem approximately than to solve the wrong problem exactly.
