H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Image
Advertising is legalized lying.
H. G. Wells
Image
Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells
Image
You Americans have the loveliest wine in the world, you know, but you don't realize it. You call them domestic and that's enough to start trouble anywhere.
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.
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
Patriotism has become a mere national self assertion, a sentimentality of flag-cheering with no constructive duties.
H. G. Wells
Image
I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.
