A downtrodden class... will never be able to make an effective protest until it achieves solidarity.
H. G. Wells
We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.
H. G. Wells
By this time I was no longer very much terrified or very miserable. I had, as it were, passed the limit of terror and despair. I felt now that my life was practically lost, and that persuasion made me capable of daring anything
H. G. Wells
In the middle years of the nineteenth century there first became abundant in this strange world of ours a class of men, men tending for the most part to become elderly, who are called, and who are very properly called, but who dislike extremely to be called--Scientists.
H. G. Wells
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. Wells
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.
H. G. Wells
In all the round world of Utopia there is no meat. There used to be, but now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And it is impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement ... collapsed like a house of cards.
H. G. Wells
We live in reference to past experience and not to future events, however inevitable.
H. G. Wells
I don't think you fully appreciate the importance of Illusion in life, the Essential Nature of Lies and Deception of the body politic.
H. G. Wells
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.
H. G. Wells
The new century will see changes that will dwarf those of the last.
H. G. Wells
The too perfect security of the Upper-worlders had led them to a slow movement of degeneration, a general dwindling in size, strength, and intelligence.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
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
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
H. G. Wells
The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.
H. G. Wells
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.
H. G. Wells
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
