Thought

"Our present addiction to pollsters and forecasters is a symptom of our chronic uncertainty about the future. … We watch our experts read the entrails of statistical tables and graphs the way the ancients watched their soothsayers read the entrails of a chicken."

. Eric Hoffer, American philosopher (1902-198 ).
