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
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
One of the darkest evils of our world is surely the unteachable wildness of the Good.
H. G. Wells
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
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
What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?
H. G. Wells
I often think we do not take this business of photography in a sufficiently serious spirit. Issuing a photograph is like marriage: you can only undo the mischief with infinite woe.
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
While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness in not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.
H. G. Wells
But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both.
H. G. Wells
Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are.
H. G. Wells
He began to realize that you cannot even fight happily with creatures that stand upon a different mental basis to yourself.
H. G. Wells
Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.
H. G. Wells
Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of the organized life.
H. G. Wells
To ride a bicycle properly is very like a love affair-chiefly it is a matter of faith. Believe you do it, and the thing is done doubt, and, for the life of you, you cannot.
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
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.
H. G. Wells
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.
H. G. Wells
Men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise.
H. G. Wells
I do not propose to add anything to what has already been written concerning the loss of the Lady Vain.
H. G. Wells
