<p><em>I am going to interpret "recent" liberally, in part because many of our questions and their answers will remain timely for years.  Why limit ourselves, then, to material posted only in the last few weeks?</em></p>

<p>A wonderful foil for an ongoing blog, in fact, would be a series of exegeses on the replies to <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/726/famous-statistician-quotes">Famous statistical quotations</a> .  Read through them, pick a quotation that resonates with you (or with which you disagree sharply!), and share with the world the context in which it arose, what controversy it might have been involved in, what it means, how it connects with your statistical experience, and anything else you can offer to bring it to life and help us appreciate its interest and importance.</p>
