More quotes by 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
No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.
H. G. Wells
Sailors ought never to go to church. They ought to go to hell, where it is much more comfortable.
H. G. Wells
The future is the shape of things to come.
H. G. Wells
We're in a blessed drainpipe, and we've got to crawl along it till we die.
H. G. Wells
...fact takes no heed of human hopes.
H. G. Wells
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
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
We must end war before war ends us.
H. G. Wells
He who does not contemplate the future is destined to be overwhelmed by it.
H. G. Wells
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.
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
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
I had just taken to reading. I had just discovered the art of leaving my body to sit impassive in a crumpled up attitude in a chair or sofa, while I wandered over the hills and far away in novel company and new scenes... My world began to expand very rapidly,... the reading habit had got me securely.
H. G. Wells
A world revolution to a higher social order, a world order, or utter downfall lies before us all.
H. G. Wells
Life, forever dying to be born afresh, forever young and eager, will presently stand upon this Earth as upon a footstool, and stretch out its realm amidst the stars.
H. G. Wells
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.
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
What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?
H. G. Wells
All men, however highly educated, retain some superstitious inklings.
H. G. Wells
