Examples

When you're reading a novel, I think the reason you care about how any given plot turns out is that you take it as a data point in the big story of how the world works. Does such-and-such a kind of guy get the girl in the end? Does adultery ever bring happiness? How do winners become winners? Elif Batuman

It's important to remember that behind every data point is a daughter, a mother, a sister-a person with hopes and dreams. Melinda Gates
