More quotes by H. G. Wells
The study of Nature makes a man at last as remorseless as Nature.
H. G. Wells
No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.
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
Countless people...will hate the New World Order...and will die protesting against it...we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents.
H. G. Wells
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
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.
H. G. Wells
Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth.
H. G. Wells
There is no remorse like the remorse of Chess
H. G. Wells
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
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
When the history of civilization is written, it will be a biological history and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine.
H. G. Wells
Face this world. Learn its ways, watch it, be careful of too hasty guesses at its meaning. In the end you will find clues to it all.
H. G. Wells
If we don't end war, war will end us.
H. G. Wells
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
I do not propose to add anything to what has already been written concerning the loss of the Lady Vain.
H. G. Wells
The establishment of the world community will surely exact a price – and who can tell what that price may be? – in toil, suffering and blood.
H. G. Wells
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.
H. G. Wells
We live in a world of unused and misapplied knowledge and skill.
H. G. Wells
But I was too restless to watch long I'm too Occidental for a long vigil. I could work at a problem for years, but to wait inactive for twenty-four hours - that's another matter.
H. G. Wells
Are we all bubbles blown by a baby?
H. G. Wells
