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
If your life doesn't end in failure, you haven't reached high enough. So it was failure I had to achieve.
H. G. Wells
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
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
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
Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells
I was never a great amorist, though I have loved several people very deeply.
H. G. Wells
