There comes a moment in the day when you have written your pages in the morning, attended to your correspondence in the afternoon, and have nothing further to do. Then comes that hour when you are bored that's the time for sex.
H. G. Wells
Image
The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.
H. G. Wells
Image
We are but phantoms ... and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights.
H. G. Wells
Image
Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of the organized life.
H. G. Wells
Image
Nothing endures, nothing is precise and certain (except the mind of a pedant), perfection is the mere repudiation of that ineluctable marginal inexactitude which is the mysterious inmost quality of Being

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Image
I do not propose to add anything to what has already been written concerning the loss of the Lady Vain.
H. G. Wells
Image
The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
H. G. Wells
Image
Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.
H. G. Wells
Image
If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters.
H. G. Wells
Image
The character of the Open Conspiracy [the movement towards a world collective] will now be plainly displayed. It will have become a great world movement as widespread and evident as socialism or communism. It will largely have taken the place of these movements. It will be more, it will be a world religion.
H. G. Wells
Image
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
H. G. Wells
Image
The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.
H. G. Wells
Image
Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.
H. G. Wells
Image
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.
