A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

Statistically speaking, there is a 65 percent chance that the love of your life is having an affair. Be very suspicious.

Let's start with this statistic: You are delicious. Be brave, my sweet. I know you can get lonely. I know you can crave companionship and sex and love so badly that it physically hurts. But I truly believe that the only way you can find out that there's something better out there is to first believe there's something better out there. What other choice is there?

There are two ways of lying. One not telling the truth and the other making up statistics.

I can prove anything by statistics except the truth.

I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.

The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.

They read their sports pages know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans pro or con over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.

Statistically and emotionally I believe that the way I can be of help to society is by doing what I know and what I've been good at.

Unfortunately Climate Science has become Political Science. It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best.

You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.

If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me I could fit in at least one maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.

Complex statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple statistically probable things.

I'm a visual thinker really bad at algebra. There's others that are a pattern thinker. These are the music and math minds. They think in patterns instead of pictures. Then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics all of the weather statistics.

This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians.

It is statistically proven that the strongest institution that guarantees procreation and continuity of the generations is marriage between one man and one woman. We don't want genocide. We don't want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage.

It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.

I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage.

It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.

Democracy is an abuse of statistics.

Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating very few survive.

We all know that Americans love their statistics - in sport obviously. And in finance too.

Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics it's about experience it's about participation it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.

Like dreams statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.
