More quotes by H. G. Wells
The study of Nature makes a man at last as remorseless as Nature.
H. G. Wells
The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.
H. G. Wells
Cynicism is humor in ill health.
H. G. Wells
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
H. G. Wells
The fact is, the Time Traveller was one of those men who are too clever to be believed: you never felt that you saw all round him you always suspected some subtle reserve, some ingenuity in ambush, behind his lucid frankness.
H. G. Wells
What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.
H. G. Wells
Advertising is legalized lying.
H. G. Wells
We were not making war against Germany, we were being ordered about in the King's war with Germany.
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
I write to cover a frame of ideas.
H. G. Wells
Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of the organized life.
H. G. Wells
Democracy's ceremonial, its feast, it's great function, is the election.
H. G. Wells
I went over the heads of the things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they are got.
H. G. Wells
Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth.
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
Things that would have made fame of a less clever man seemed tricks in his hands. It is a mistake to do things too easily.
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
There is no remorse like the remorse of Chess
H. G. Wells
