If your life doesn't end in failure, you haven't reached high enough. So it was failure I had to achieve.
H. G. Wells
Image
The lawgiver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance. He of all men should behave as though the law compelled him. But it is the universal weakness of mankind that what we are given to administer we presently imagine we own.
H. G. Wells
Image
A world revolution to a higher social order, a world order, or utter downfall lies before us all.
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

H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves for the general Good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.
H. G. Wells
Image
Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are.
H. G. Wells
Image
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. Wells
Image
The Jews looked for a special savior, a messiah, who was to redeem mankind by the agreeable process of restoring the fabulous glories of David and Solomon, and bringing the whole world at last under the firm but benevolent Jewish heel.
H. G. Wells
Image
Patriotism has become a mere national self assertion, a sentimentality of flag-cheering with no constructive duties.
H. G. Wells
Image
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.
H. G. Wells
Image
When the history of civilization is written, it will be a biological history and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine.
H. G. Wells
Image
In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.

No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.

I hope, or I could not live.
