More quotes by H. G. Wells

Image
In all the round world of Utopia there is no meat. There used to be, but now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And it is impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.
H. G. Wells
Image
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
H. G. Wells
Image
For all my desire to be interesting, I have to confess that for most things and people I don't give a damn.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Image
Strength is the outcome of need.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is only now and then, in a jungle, or amidst the towering white menace of a burnt or burning Australian forest, that Nature strips the moral veils from vegetation and we apprehend its stark ferocity.
H. G. Wells
Image
The religion of the atheist has a God-shaped blank at it's heart.
H. G. Wells
Image
...fact takes no heed of human hopes.
H. G. Wells
Image
I write as straight as I can, just as I walk as straight as I can, because that is the best way to get there.
H. G. Wells
Image
Dragging out life to the last possible second is not living to the best effect. The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. The best of life, Passworthy, lies nearest to the edge of death.
H. G. Wells
Image
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
H. G. Wells
Image
Bah! The thing is not a nose at all, but a bit of primordial chaos clapped on to my face.
H. G. Wells
Image
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.

We live in reference to past experience and not to future events, however inevitable.
