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
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
H. G. Wells
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.
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
