Good books are the warehouses of ideas.
H. G. Wells
Image
I had just taken to reading. I had just discovered the art of leaving my body to sit impassive in a crumpled up attitude in a chair or sofa, while I wandered over the hills and far away in novel company and new scenes... My world began to expand very rapidly,... the reading habit had got me securely.
H. G. Wells
Image
Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells
Image
The choice is: the Universe...or nothing.
H. G. Wells
Image
I write to cover a frame of ideas.
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
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
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
Sailors ought never to go to church. They ought to go to hell, where it is much more comfortable.
H. G. Wells
Image
If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters.
H. G. Wells
Image
This isn't a war, said the artilleryman. It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.
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
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
I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.
H. G. Wells
Image
Figures are the most shocking things in the world. The prettiest little squiggles of black looked at in the right light and yet consider the blow they can give you upon the heart.
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
We're in a blessed drainpipe, and we've got to crawl along it till we die.
H. G. Wells
Image
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.
H. G. Wells
Image
There is space in its philosophy for everyone which is one reason why India is a home to every single religion in the world.
H. G. Wells
Image
The true sweetness of chess, if it ever can be sweet, is to see a victory snatched, by some happy impertinence, out of the shadow of apparently irrevocable disaster.
