Men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.

...fact takes no heed of human hopes.

After telephone, kinematograph and phonograph had replaced newspaper, book schoolmaster and letter, to live outside the range of the electric cables was to live an isolated savage.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Strength is the outcome of nee...

Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness. The work of ameliorating the conditions of life -- the true civilizing process that makes life more and more secure -- had gone steadily on to a climax... And the harvest was what I saw.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

It is love and reason,' I said...

It is love and reason,' I said,'fleeing from all the madness of war.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

If only I had thought of a Kodak! I could have flashed that glimpse of the Under-world in a second, and examined it at leisure.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

No. I cannot expect you to bel...

No. I cannot expect you to believe it. Take it as a lie--or a prophecy. Say I dreamed it in the workshop. Consider I have been speculating upon the destinies of our race until I have hatched this fiction. Treat my assertion of its truth as a mere stroke of art to enhance its interest. And taking it as a story, what do you think of it?

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

You are trying to do a more difficult thing than record folk songs; you are trying to record life.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Anthropology has been compared...

Anthropology has been compared to a great region, marked out indeed as within the sphere of influence of science, but unsettled and for the most part unsubdued. Like all such hinterland sciences, it is a happy hunting-ground for adventurers.

Everyone leaves the world a little better some by leaving.

...the ethical system that will dominate the world-state will be shaped primarily to favor the procreation of what is fine and efficient and beautiful in humanity - beautiful and strong bodies, clear and powerful minds - and to check the procreation of base and servile type.

Go away. I'm all right. [last words]

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

[A novel by Henry James] is like a church lit but without a congregation to distract you, with every light and line focused on the high altar. And on the altar, very reverently place, intensely there, is a dead kitten, an egg-shell, a bit of string.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The Athenian democracy suffered much from that narrowness of patriotism which is the ruin of all nations.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers - shriveled now, and brown and flat and brittle - to witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of men.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Face this world. Learn its way...

Face this world. Learn its ways, watch it, be careful of too hasty guesses at its meaning. In the end you will find clues to it all.
