Clarence Day Quote

What fairy story, what tale from the Arabian Nights of the jinns, is a hundredth part as wonderful as this true fairy story of simians! It is so much more heartening, too, than the tales we invent. A universe capable of giving birth to many such accidents is — blind or not—a good world to live in, a promising universe.... We once thought we lived on God's footstool; it may be a throne.

This Simian World (1920). XIX
