Additional quotes by Charles Kingsley

I am haunted by the human chimpanzees I saw [in Ireland] . . . I don't believe they are our fault. . . . But to see white chimpanzees is dreadful; if they were black, one would not feel it so much. . . ."

All but God is changing day by day.

And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep—
And good-bye to the bar and its moaning.
