One of the darkest evils of our world is surely the unteachable wildness of the Good.
H. G. Wells
Image
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
H. G. Wells
Image
To ride a bicycle properly is very like a love affair-chiefly it is a matter of faith. Believe you do it, and the thing is done doubt, and, for the life of you, you cannot.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.
H. G. Wells
Image
Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break.
H. G. Wells
Image
The future is the shape of things to come.
H. G. Wells
Image
In all the round world of Utopia there is no meat. There used to be, but now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And it is impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.
H. G. Wells
Image
We live in a world of unused and misapplied knowledge and skill.
H. G. Wells
Image
The choice is: the Universe...or nothing.

Image
This isn't a war, said the artilleryman. It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.
H. G. Wells

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.
