More quotes by H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
H. G. Wells
A time will come when men will sit with history before them or with some old newspaper before them and ask incredulously,Was there ever such a world?
H. G. Wells
The State's your mother, your father, the totality of your interests. No discipline can be too severe for the man that denies thatby word or deed.
H. G. Wells
There's truths you have to grow into.
H. G. Wells
But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them.

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
For all my desire to be interesting, I have to confess that for most things and people I don't give a damn.
H. G. Wells
One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction.
H. G. Wells
Nothing endures, nothing is precise and certain (except the mind of a pedant), perfection is the mere repudiation of that ineluctable marginal inexactitude which is the mysterious inmost quality of Being
H. G. Wells
Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells
Figures are the most shocking things in the world. The prettiest little squiggles of black looked at in the right light and yet consider the blow they can give you upon the heart.
H. G. Wells
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.
H. G. Wells
An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.
H. G. Wells
Every one of these hundreds of millions of human beings is in some form seeking happiness.... Not one is altogether noble nor altogether trustworthy nor altogether consistent and not one is altogether vile.... Not a single one but has at some time wept.
H. G. Wells
Men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise.
H. G. Wells
We must end war before war ends us.
H. G. Wells
The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
H. G. Wells
