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
If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters.
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
The past is but the past of a beginning.
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

Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
H. G. Wells
Image
In all the round world there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses.
H. G. Wells
Image
There is no remorse like a remorse of chess. It is a curse upon man. There is no happiness in chess.
H. G. Wells
Image
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
Image
What good is religion if it collapses under calamity?
H. G. Wells
Image
If you do not want to explore an egoism you should not read autobiography.
H. G. Wells
Image
Go away... I'm alright.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries.

Image
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it.
H. G. Wells
Image
If we don't end war, war will end us.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
You have, let us say, a promising politician, a rising artist that you wish to destroy. Dagger or bomb are archaic, clumsy and unreliable - but teach him, inoculate him with chess.
