Quotes from Charles Fort's "The Book ofThe Damned"
"Our especial interest is in modern science as a manifestationof this one ideal or purpose or process:That it has falsely excluded, because there are no positivestandards to judge by: that it has excluded things that,by its own pseudostandards, have as much right to come in ashave the chosen."

Quotes from Charles Fort's "The Book ofThe Damned"
"The data of the damned.I have gone into the outer darkness of scientific andphilosophical transactions and proceedings, ultra‐respectable,but covered with the dust of disregard. I have descended intojournalism. I have come back with the quasi‐souls of lost data.They will march. "
