## statquotes package released to CRAN The statquotes package v. 0.2 has recently been released to CRAN. In a spirit similar to fortunes and gaussfacts, the function `statquote()` displays a randomly chosen quotation from a data base consisting of quotes about topics related to statistics, data visualization and science.
The data base is a collection of quotations assembled over the years from various sources. The quotes are classified by general topics (and subtopics). ### Examples
set.seed(761) statquote()
The best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone's backyard. --- John W. Tukey
statquote(topic="science")
Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique. --- Anon. ### Development The package is hosted on Github, at https://github.com/friendly/statquotes/.
