More quotes by 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
To ride a bicycle properly is very like a love affair-chiefly it is a matter of faith. Believe you do it, and the thing is done doubt, and, for the life of you, you cannot.
H. G. Wells
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
H. G. Wells
Men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise.
H. G. Wells
But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both.
H. G. Wells
I do not believe I have any immortality. The greatest evil in the world today is the Christian religion
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
I don't suppose any man has ever understood any woman since the beginning of things. You don't understand our imaginations, how wild our imaginations can be.
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
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
No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.
H. G. Wells
It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors 'never' lived in Palestine 'at all,' which witnesses the power of historical assertion over fact.
H. G. Wells
Find the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure that’s it, and do it with all your might. If you live, well and good. If you die, well and good. Your purpose is done
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
Will is stronger than fact: it can mold and overcome fact.
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
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
The German people are an orderly, vain, deeply sentimental and rather insensitive people. They seem to feel at their best when they are singing in chorus, saluting or obeying orders.
H. G. Wells
If we don't end war, war will end us.
H. G. Wells
I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.
H. G. Wells
