One of the darkest evils of our world is surely the unteachable wildness of the Good.
H. G. Wells
Image
Even men who were engaged in organizing debt-serf cultivation and debt-serf industrialism in the American cotton districts, in the old rubber plantations, and in the factories of India, China, and South Italy, appeared as generous supporters of and subscribers to the sacred cause of individual liberty.
H. G. Wells
Image
If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters.
H. G. Wells
Image
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.
H. G. Wells
Image
Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.
H. G. Wells
Image
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
H. G. Wells
Image
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
Image
I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
H. G. Wells
Image
The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves for the general Good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.
H. G. Wells
Image
If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.
H. G. Wells
Image
Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is only now and then, in a jungle, or amidst the towering white menace of a burnt or burning Australian forest, that Nature strips the moral veils from vegetation and we apprehend its stark ferocity.
H. G. Wells
Image
If your life doesn't end in failure, you haven't reached high enough. So it was failure I had to achieve.
H. G. Wells
Image
I do not propose to add anything to what has already been written concerning the loss of the Lady Vain.
H. G. Wells
Image
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
I was never a great amorist, though I have loved several people very deeply.
H. G. Wells
Image
Good books are the warehouses of ideas.
H. G. Wells
Image
A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
H. G. Wells
Image
There is no more evil thing in this world than race prejudice, none at all. [...] It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty, and abomination than any other sort of error in the world.
H. G. Wells
