H. G. Wells
It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out.
H. G. Wells

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

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. Wells
I had just taken to reading. I had just discovered the art of leaving my body to sit impassive in a crumpled up attitude in a chair or sofa, while I wandered over the hills and far away in novel company and new scenes... My world began to expand very rapidly,... the reading habit had got me securely.
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.
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
A young mistress is better than an old master.
H. G. Wells
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.
H. G. Wells
There is no remorse like a remorse of chess. It is a curse upon man. There is no happiness in chess.
H. G. Wells
This isn't a war, said the artilleryman. It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.
H. G. Wells
