We must end war before war ends us.
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

H. G. Wells
The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.
H. G. Wells
An artist who theorizes about his work is no longer artist but critic.
H. G. Wells
Bah! The thing is not a nose at all, but a bit of primordial chaos clapped on to my face.

H. G. Wells
In all the round world there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses.
H. G. Wells
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
H. G. Wells
If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement ... collapsed like a house of cards.
H. G. Wells
Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write!
H. G. Wells
