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
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

H. G. Wells
Image
The new century will see changes that will dwarf those of the last.
H. G. Wells

Fools make researches and wise men exploit them - that is our earthly way of dealing with the question, and we thank Heaven for an assumed abundance of financially impotent and sufficiently ingenious fools.
H. G. Wells
Image
If you do not want to explore an egoism you should not read autobiography.
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
The religion of the atheist has a God-shaped blank at it's heart.
H. G. Wells
Image
We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries.

Go away... I'm alright.
H. G. Wells
Image
A downtrodden class... will never be able to make an effective protest until it achieves solidarity.
H. G. Wells
Image
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
H. G. Wells

Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.
