Additional quotes by H.G. Wells

There is, though I do not know how there is or why there is, a sense of infinite peace and protection in the glittering hosts of heaven.

I hope, or I could not live. And so, in hope and solitude, my story ends.

I stood staring, not as yet realising that this was death leaping from man to man in that little distant crowd.
