H. G. Wells
Image
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells

The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
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
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.
H. G. Wells

The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.
H. G. Wells
Image
If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement ... collapsed like a house of cards.
