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
Even men who were engaged in organizing debt-serf cultivation and debt-serf industrialism in the American cotton districts, in the old rubber plantations, and in the factories of India, China, and South Italy, appeared as generous supporters of and subscribers to the sacred cause of individual liberty.
H. G. Wells
We must end war before war ends us.
H. G. Wells
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
This has ever been the fate of energy in security it takes to art and to eroticism, and then comes languor and decay.
H. G. Wells
The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships.
H. G. Wells
Countless people...will hate the New World Order...and will die protesting against it...we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents.
H. G. Wells
I don't suppose any man has ever understood any woman since the beginning of things. You don't understand our imaginations, how wild our imaginations can be.
H. G. Wells
We are but phantoms ... and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights.
H. G. Wells
Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.
H. G. Wells
There is no remorse like a remorse of chess. It is a curse upon man. There is no happiness in chess.
H. G. Wells
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
H. G. Wells
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
The lawgiver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance. He of all men should behave as though the law compelled him. But it is the universal weakness of mankind that what we are given to administer we presently imagine we own.
H. G. Wells
The State's your mother, your father, the totality of your interests. No discipline can be too severe for the man that denies thatby word or deed.
H. G. Wells
...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
It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors 'never' lived in Palestine 'at all,' which witnesses the power of historical assertion over fact.
H. G. Wells
After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow.
H. G. Wells

It will have become a great world movement as widespread and evident as socialism or communism. It will largely have taken the place of these movements. It will be more, it will be a world religion.
