H.G. Wells Quotes

“History was becoming, as he would soon inform readers of the "Outline," 'a race between education and catastrophe.' The teaching of nationalistic history had fuelled the conflagration -- in Germany, most of all, but everywhere to some degree.”
― Michael Sherborne, H.G. Wells: Another Kind of Life

“There is a powerful sense of liberation in Wells's stories, but it does not stem from political ideas; it comes from the realization that the world is capable of dramatic change and transformation. Habit and routine are ripped aside to reveal a stranger, more exciting universe than we had been led to expect.”
― Michael Sherborne, H.G. Wells: Another Kind of Life
