The choice is: the Universe......

The choice is: the Universe...or nothing.

The art of ignoring is one of ...

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.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Since the passing of Victoria ...

Since the passing of Victoria the Great there had been an accumulating uneasiness in the national life. It was as if some compact and dignified paper-weight had been lifted from people's ideas, and as if at once they had begun to blow about anyhow.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The man who raises a fist has ...

The man who raises a fist has run out of ideas.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Everywhere in the world there ...

Everywhere in the world there are ignorance and prejudice, but the greatest complex of these, with the most extensive prestige and the most intimate entanglement with traditional institutions, is the Roman Catholic Church.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Will is stronger than fact: it...

Will is stronger than fact: it can mold and overcome fact.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

What good is religion if it co...

What good is religion if it collapses under calamity?

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

We were making the future and ...

We were making the future and hardly any of us troubled to think what future we were making. And here it is!

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The weaving of mankind into on...

The weaving of mankind into one community does not imply the creation of a homogeneous community, but rather the reverse; the welcome and adequate utilization of distinctive quality in an atmosphere of understanding.... Communities all to one pattern, like boxes of toy soldiers, are things of the past, rather than of the future.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The true objection to slavery ...

The true objection to slavery is not that it is unjust to the inferior but that it corrupts the superior.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The too perfect security of th...

The too perfect security of the Upper-worlders had led them to a slow movement of degeneration, a general dwindling in size, strength, and intelligence.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The third peculiarity of aeria...

The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The catastrophe of the atomic ...

The catastrophe of the atomic bombs which shook men out of cities and businesses and economic relations, shook them also out of their old-established habits of thought, and out of the lightly held beliefs and prejudices that came down to them from the past.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The brain upon which my experi...

The brain upon which my experiences have been written is not a particularly good one. If their were brain-shows, as there are cat and dog shows, I doubt if it would get even a third class prize.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Success is to be measured not ...

Success is to be measured not by wealth, power, or fame, but by the ratio between what a man is and what he might be.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

A time will come when men will...

A time will come when men will sit with history before them or with some old newspaper before them and ask incredulously,'Was there ever such a world?'

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Every one of these hundreds of...

Every one of these hundreds of millions of human beings is in some form seeking happiness.... Not one is altogether noble nor altogether trustworthy nor altogether consistent; and not one is altogether vile.... Not a single one but has at some time wept.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

About two-thirds of the face o...

About two-thirds of the face of Marx is beard, a vast solemn wooly uneventful beard that must have made all normal exercise impossible. It is not the sort of beard that happens to a man, it is a beard cultivated, cherished, and thrust patriarchally upon the world.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Fools make researches and wise...

Fools make researches and wise men exploit them - that is our earthly way of dealing with the question, and we thank Heaven for an assumed abundance of financially impotent and sufficiently ingenious fools.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

A biography should be a dissection and demonstration of how a particular human being was made and worked.
