Stories are how numbers talk to people.

Thomas Davenport

By visualizing information, we turn it into a landscape that you can explore with your eyes, a sort of information map. And when you’re lost in information, an information map is kind of useful.

―David McCandless

Numbers have an important story to tell. They rely on you to give them a clear and convincing voice.

―Stephen Few
