The study of Nature makes a man at last as remorseless as Nature.
H. G. Wells
Image
We live in a world of unused and misapplied knowledge and skill.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
The art of ignoring is one of the accomplishments of every well-bred girl, so carefully instilled that at last she can even ignore her own thoughts and her own knowledge.
H. G. Wells
Image
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.

I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
