H. G. Wells
I must confess that I lost faith in the sanity of the world
H. G. Wells
He was inordinately proud of England and he abused her incessantly.
H. G. Wells
In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
H. G. Wells
If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.
H. G. Wells
I never yet heard of a useless thing that was not ground out of existence by evolution sooner or later. Did you? And pain gets needless.
