H. G. Wells
Image
This is the end and the beginning of an age. This is something far greater than the French Revolution or the Reformation and we live in it.
H. G. Wells
Image
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.

H. G. Wells
Image
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
