H. G. Wells
This is the end and the beginning of an age. This is something far greater than the French Revolution or the Reformation and we live in it.
H. G. Wells
Advertising is legalized lying.
H. G. Wells
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
Our challenge is not to educate the children we used to have or want to have, but to educate the children who come to the schoolhouse door.
H. G. Wells
By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.
H. G. Wells
We are but phantoms ... and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights.
H. G. Wells
New and stirring things are belittled because if they are not belittled the humiliating question arises 'Why then are you not taking part in them?
H. G. Wells
The world needs something stronger than any possible rebellion against its peace. In other words it needs a federal world government embodying a new conception of human life as one whole.
H. G. Wells
Bah! The thing is not a nose at all, but a bit of primordial chaos clapped on to my face.
H. G. Wells
It is the system of nationalist individualism that has to go....We are living in the end of the sovereign states....In the great struggle to evoke a Westernized World Socialism, contemporary governments may vanish....Countless people...will hate the new world order....and will die protesting against it.
H. G. Wells
The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.
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
How small the vastest of human catastrophes may seem, at a distance of a few million miles.
H. G. Wells
There's nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn't abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.
H. G. Wells
Will is stronger than fact: it can mold and overcome fact.
H. G. Wells
I was never a great amorist, though I have loved several people very deeply.
H. G. Wells
I stood staring, not as yet realising that this was death leaping from man to man in that little distant crowd.
H. G. Wells
Christ is the most unique person of history. No man can write a history of the human race without giving first and foremost place to the penniless Teacher of Nazareth.
H. G. Wells
The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.
H. G. Wells
