There comes a moment in the day when you have written your pages in the morning, attended to your correspondence in the afternoon, and have nothing further to do. Then comes that hour when you are bored that's the time for sex.

H. G. Wells
Image
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
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
The Anglo-Saxon genius for parliamentary government asserted itself there was a great deal of talk and no decisive action.
H. G. Wells
Image
Every one of these hundreds of millions of human beings is in some form seeking happiness.... Not one is altogether noble nor altogether trustworthy nor altogether consistent and not one is altogether vile.... Not a single one but has at some time wept.
H. G. Wells
Image
The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.
H. G. Wells

The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.
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
A federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient measure of social justice, to ensure health, education, and a rough equality of opportunity to most of the children born into the world, would mean such a release and increase of human energy as to open a new phase in human history.
H. G. Wells
Image
But I was too restless to watch long I'm too Occidental for a long vigil. I could work at a problem for years, but to wait inactive for twenty-four hours - that's another matter.
H. G. Wells
Image
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
H. G. Wells
Image
If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.
H. G. Wells
Image
When she was fifteen if you'd told her that when she was twenty she'd be going to bed with bald-headed men and liking it, she would have thought you very abstract.
H. G. Wells
Image
I must confess that I lost faith in the sanity of the world
H. G. Wells
Image
One of the darkest evils of our world is surely the unteachable wildness of the Good.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out.
H. G. Wells
Image
I stood staring, not as yet realising that this was death leaping from man to man in that little distant crowd.
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.

One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction.
