H. G. Wells

Are we all bubbles blown by a baby?
H. G. Wells

If anything is possible, then nothing is interesting
H. G. Wells
Image
The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.
H. G. Wells
Image
The Jews looked for a special savior, a messiah, who was to redeem mankind by the agreeable process of restoring the fabulous glories of David and Solomon, and bringing the whole world at last under the firm but benevolent Jewish heel.
H. G. Wells
