"Sure do love the magic of statistics"

Here are some nice quotes on stats:

A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.
Any statistics can be extrapolated to the point where they show disaster.
Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts—for support rather than
illumination.
statistics are like a bikini bathing suit: what they reveal is interesting;
what they conceal is vital.
Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the same
figures to draw different conclusions.
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
[Like people] if you torture statistics long enough, they'll tell you
anything you want to hear.
