SO much the worse for them! I insist on only saying what I know; but I do say this. And if what I know is displeasing, SO much the worse for the prejudices, the general ignorance, and the good breeding of these distinguished gentry, in whose eyes the maximum Of happiness consists in an increase Of their fortune, the pursuit of lucrative places, sensual pleasures, automobile racing, a box at the Opéra, or five-o'clock teas at a fashion able restaurant, and whose lives are frittered away along paths that never cross those Of the rapt idealist, and who never know the pure satisfaction of his mind and heart, or the pleasures of thought and feeling.

Camille Flammarion (1842-1925) was a French astronomer and psychical researcher, notable for his writings on mediumship and psychic phenomena, including case collections. He also distinguished himself as a novelist and popular science writer.Flammarion popularised psychical research, and psychic phenomena in general, in his overview book "Mysterious Psychic Forces" (1907). Besides his own investigations he described those carried out by Agénor de Gasparin, Marc Thury, the Dialectical Society of London, and William Crookes, lamenting that psychic phenomena ‘have been almost as little studied as in the time of Ptolemy, and have not yet found their Kepler, and their Newton, yet fairly obtrude themselves upon our notice, and cry out to be examined’. He also addressed speculative theories and the topics of fraud and deception. He added that he believed in survival of bodily death, but did not think this was the explanation for all séance phenomena.
