More quotes by H. G. Wells
The man was running away with the rest, and selling his papers for a shilling each as he ran—a grotesque mingling of profit and panic.
H. G. Wells
When she was fifteen if you'd told her that when she was twenty she'd be going to bed with bald-headed men and liking it, she would have thought you very abstract.
H. G. Wells
If your life doesn't end in failure, you haven't reached high enough. So it was failure I had to achieve.
H. G. Wells
If Max [Aitken] gets to Heaven he won't last long. He will be chucked out for trying to pull off a merger between Heaven and Hell ... after having secured a controlling interest in key subsidiary companies in both places, of course.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness in not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.
H. G. Wells
Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.
H. G. Wells
The study of Nature makes a man at last as remorseless as Nature.
H. G. Wells
All men, however highly educated, retain some superstitious inklings.
H. G. Wells
He began to realize that you cannot even fight happily with creatures that stand upon a different mental basis to yourself.
H. G. Wells
This is the end and the beginning of an age. This is something far greater than the French Revolution or the Reformation and we live in it.
H. G. Wells
It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out.
H. G. Wells
How small the vastest of human catastrophes may seem, at a distance of a few million miles.
H. G. Wells
