”We need fuller understanding from the scientific public; fuller support for long and strenuous investigation; a much more effective way of finding the young men and women who will be the parapsychologists of the decades ahead …

Personally I doubt whether parapsychology will bring us this larger understanding of human nature by our own efforts alone. … Rather it seems to me that the scientific spirit working through the meetings of history and the social sciences, through the insights of the physical sciences, the biological sciences, medicine, psychiatry, psychology and catching the spirit of the Rembrandts, the Beethovens, the DaVinci’s who have described man not in sober prose alone, but in color, in tone, and in eternal principles of form, can lead us to an integrated conception of the nature of man more satisfying than that which we now possess. But in this integrative effort of all the modes of understanding man parapsychology will, if our work be well done, play a vital role.”

“Man’s knowledge is limited only by his all too great readiness to stay within the boundaries of the proven. Here Man shall dedicate themselves anew to the task of the search for knowledge and for truth in the realms beyond those upon science as such has set its seal of approval.”
