A recent survey conducted by the University of Minnesota concluded that meth was involved in as many as 81 percent of child protection cases in the state. Mark Kennedy
I feel pain everywhere. A lot of guys in chairs do feel their legs. But if you don’t, there’s a thing called disreflex, so you know if something happens, say, you can’t feel your foot or your leg and your body reacts. You know something’s not right and you survey what’s going on. Mark Zupan
Do you know how many women in a survey reported experiences of sexual harassment on the job? Eighty percent. It is so common. It’s normalized. And it’s an abuse of power. Maya Wiley
World-building numbs the reader’s ability to fulfill their part of the bargain because it believes that it has to do everything around here if anything is going to get done. Above all, world-building is not technically necessary. It is the great clomping foot of nerdism. It is the attempt to exhaustively survey a place that isn’t there. M. John Harrison
I think somebody ought to do a survey as to how many great, important men have quit to spend time with their families who spent any more time with their family. Walter Cronkite
It will be the mother of all telescopes, and you can bet it will do for astronomy what genome sequencing is doing for biology. The clumsy, if utilitarian, name of this mirrored monster is Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, or LSST. You can’t use it yet, but a peak in the Chilean Andes has been decapitated to provide a level spot for placement. Seth Shostak
I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don’t know if I’m the monarch of all I survey. Sylvester Stallone
Things look especially bleak for common killers such as diabetes and heart disease. Those ailments clearly have a genetic component. But when scientists survey genes looking for which mutations patients have in common, they come up empty. Sam Kean
In ‘The High Low’, in some respects an audio version of ‘Grazia,’ Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton wonder whether they missed something in their survey of the Harvey Weinstein story. Maybe they did, they decide. David Hepworth

When you spend time with potential customers, you get to hear about their struggles firsthand. You see their eyes light up with excitement or darken with confusion. You learn things you would never find in a survey, database, or questionnaire. You learn why people buy. Jason Fried
Everyone takes surveys. Whoever makes a statement about human behavior has engaged in a survey of some sort. Andrew Greeley
Banning pre-poll surveys is certainly no answer in today’s world. Sensitising the public and the media as to the good, bad, and desirable aspects of survey research is more sensible than that. N. Bhaskara Rao
In America, they never make anything without first having a market survey to ask the public what they want. People only ask for things they already know about, so you don’t get anything new that way. That’s why American fashion is stuck. Mary Quant
Our experience shows – and survey after survey reveals – institutions are run better, communities are healthier when women are involved in solving the challenges of our society. Equal representation does not just lead to good democracy: it is democracy. Cherie Blair

You stand beneath the arthritic boughs of any English oak, and you survey a thousand tales. Jim Crace
People who teach American history survey classes have a lot of ground to cover and tend to focus on landmarks. You get through the Civil War and Reconstruction, and you have to get to the beginning of the 20th century fast. It’s pretty easy to go lightly on the Gilded Age. H. W. Brands
On ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ I was always the same. I said we needed a complete review of the impact on morale and battle effectiveness of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ before we repeal it. That’s my position now. Now they’re trying to ram through a repeal without a – any kind of really realistic survey done. John McCain
A 2001 survey of business owners with MBAs conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology found that money was the primary motivator for only 29% of women, versus 76% of men. Women prioritized flexibility, fulfillment, autonomy and safety. Warren Farrell
In Egypt, I do survey work on the ground. That’s really the most important part of using satellite images. You know, it helps us to find potential locations for sites, and then we get to go there on the ground and confirm what we’ve seen. Sarah Parcak
Before doing fieldwork in Middle Egypt, I analyzed satellite imagery to determine exactly where I wanted to go. Within three weeks, I found about 70 sites. If I had approached this as a traditional foot survey, it would have taken me three and a half years. Sarah Parcak
Look, I went to war, and we knew by survey that when I went to war that we had a certain percentage in that carrier battle group, and when I was on the ground briefly in Afghanistan, that were gay.

I’m not really well educated – other than an art survey course at the High School of Art and Design in New York when I was, like, 15.

In my judgment, based on the work that has been done to this point of the Iraq Survey Group, and in fact, that I reported to you in October, Iraq was in clear violation of the terms of U.N.Resolution 1441. David Kay

The point of any release from an internal poll is to prove a point. That is, you’re trying to relay a message that is positive to your side. It doesn’t mean the poll is inaccurate, but it’s very unlikely you’ll see an internal poll that is bad for the side who sponsored the survey. Harry Enten
The results of this survey are shocking and should be a wake-up call to men and women that drinking and smoking too much not only gives you a bad headache in the morning but can affect your ability to start a family. Ann Robinson

Ukip had undertaken a survey on why people wanted to leave the E.U. or not, and they also had membership data. So we were able to build personas out of that. That was work that would normally be paid for. Brittany Kaiser
Once archaeologists have shown possible ‘new’ ancient features, they can import the data into their iPads and take it to the field to do survey or excavation work. Technology doesn’t mean we aren’t digging in the dirt anymore – it’s just that we know better where to dig. Sarah Parcak
