More quotes by H. G. Wells
This has ever been the fate of energy in security it takes to art and to eroticism, and then comes languor and decay.
H. G. Wells
With wine and food, the confidence of my own table, and the necessity of reassuring my wife, I grew by insensible degrees courageous and secure.
H. G. Wells
...fact takes no heed of human hopes.
H. G. Wells
I must confess that I lost faith in the sanity of the world
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
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.
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
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
Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of the organized life.
H. G. Wells
Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.
H. G. Wells
Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.
H. G. Wells
Go away... I'm alright.
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
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
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
Strength is the outcome of need.
H. G. Wells
A time will come when men will sit with history before them or with some old newspaper before them and ask incredulously,Was there ever such a world?
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
The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
