More quotes by 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
Let us get together with other people of our sort and make over the world into a great world-civilization that will enable us to realize the promises and avoid the dangers of this new time.
H. G. Wells
The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves for the general Good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.
H. G. Wells
Our challenge is not to educate the children we used to have or want to have, but to educate the children who come to the schoolhouse door.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells

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
When she was fifteen if you'd told her that when she was twenty she'd be going to bed with bald-headed men and liking it, she would have thought you very abstract.
H. G. Wells
Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.
H. G. Wells
Good books are the warehouses of ideas.
H. G. Wells
One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction.
H. G. Wells
There's truths you have to grow into.
H. G. Wells
Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.
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 must confess that I lost faith in the sanity of the world
H. G. Wells
But I was too restless to watch long I'm too Occidental for a long vigil. I could work at a problem for years, but to wait inactive for twenty-four hours - that's another matter.
H. G. Wells
