No Prison Can Hold Me; No Hand

Fire Has Always Been And, Seemingly, Will Always Remain, The Most Terrible Of The Elements.

I Am Not An Irretrievable Skeptic. I Am Not Hopelessly Prejudiced. I Am Perfectly Willing To Believe, And My Mind Is Wide Open; But I Have, As Yet, To Be Convinced. I Am Perfectly Willing, But The Evidence Must Be Sane And Conclusive.

But It Must Not Be Thought That I Say This Out Of Personal Experience: For In The Many Years That I Have Been Before The Public My Secret Methods Have Been Steadily Shielded By The Strict Integrity Of My Assistants, Most Of Whom Have Been With Me For Years.

I Do Not Believe That Ghosts Or Spirits Exist.

What The Eyes Sees, The Ear Hears, And The Mind Believes.
