Quotes by Alberto Cairo (?)

“The purpose of infographics and data visualizations is to enlighten people—not to entertain them, not to sell them products, services, or ideas, but to inform them. It’s as simple—and as complicated—as that.”
― Alberto Cairo, Truthful Art, The: Data, Charts, and Maps for Communication

“between the beginning of time and 2003, humanity generated roughly five exabytes of data, whereas we now produce the same volume of bits every two days.”
― Alberto Cairo, Functional Art, The: An introduction to information graphics and visualization

“graphics should not simplify messages. They should clarify them, highlight trends, uncover patterns, and reveal realities not visible before.”
