H. G. Wells
Image
Room to swing a cat, it seemed was absolutely essential. It was an infrequent but indispensable operation.

...instead of offering me a Garibaldi biscuit, she asked me with that faint lisp of hers, to 'have some squashed flies, George'.
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
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
Things that would have made fame of a less clever man seemed tricks in his hands. It is a mistake to do things too easily.
H. G. Wells
Image
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
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
Image
Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.
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
