Accepting Quote by Charles Fort

“I shut the front door upon Christ and Einstein, and at the back door hold out a welcoming hand to little frogs and periwinkles. I believe nothing of my own that I have ever written.

One day, in one of my frequent, and probably incurable, scientific moments, it occurred to me to find out. For a month,…
