More quotes by H. G. Wells
There is no remorse like the remorse of Chess
H. G. Wells
There's nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn't abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.
H. G. Wells
No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.
H. G. Wells
The establishment of the world community will surely exact a price – and who can tell what that price may be? – in toil, suffering and blood.
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
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
I write to cover a frame of ideas.
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
Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.
H. G. Wells
The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.
H. G. Wells
You have, let us say, a promising politician, a rising artist that you wish to destroy. Dagger or bomb are archaic, clumsy and unreliable - but teach him, inoculate him with chess.
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
Democracy's ceremonial, its feast, it's great function, is the election.
H. G. Wells
The man was running away with the rest, and selling his papers for a shilling each as he ran—a grotesque mingling of profit and panic.
H. G. Wells
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
H. G. Wells
The fact is, the Time Traveller was one of those men who are too clever to be believed: you never felt that you saw all round him you always suspected some subtle reserve, some ingenuity in ambush, behind his lucid frankness.
H. G. Wells
The Anglo-Saxon genius for parliamentary government asserted itself there was a great deal of talk and no decisive action.
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
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
I must confess that I lost faith in the sanity of the world
H. G. Wells
