More quotes by H. G. Wells
If anything is possible, then nothing is interesting
H. G. Wells
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.
H. G. Wells
The world needs something stronger than any possible rebellion against its peace. In other words it needs a federal world government embodying a new conception of human life as one whole.
H. G. Wells
For all my desire to be interesting, I have to confess that for most things and people I don't give a damn.
H. G. Wells
In all the round world there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses.
H. G. Wells
This isn't a war, said the artilleryman. It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.
H. G. Wells
We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.
H. G. Wells
Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write!
H. G. Wells
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
Sailors ought never to go to church. They ought to go to hell, where it is much more comfortable.
H. G. Wells
In the middle years of the nineteenth century there first became abundant in this strange world of ours a class of men, men tending for the most part to become elderly, who are called, and who are very properly called, but who dislike extremely to be called--Scientists.
H. G. Wells
Find the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure that’s it, and do it with all your might. If you live, well and good. If you die, well and good. Your purpose is done
H. G. Wells
The War That Will End War.
H. G. Wells
We want to get rid of the militarist not simply because he hurts and kills, but because he is an intolerable thick-voiced blockhead who stands hectoring and blustering in our way of achievement.
H. G. Wells
For after the Battle comes quiet.
H. G. Wells
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it.
H. G. Wells
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
The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.
H. G. Wells
Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.
H. G. Wells
Life, forever dying to be born afresh, forever young and eager, will presently stand upon this Earth as upon a footstool, and stretch out its realm amidst the stars.
H. G. Wells
