H.G. Wells _ The Time Machine
But to me the future is still black and blank–is a vast ignorance, lit at a few casual places by the memory of his story. And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers –shrivelled 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 man.

H.G. Wells _ The Magic Shop
I had seen the Magic Shop from afar several times; I had passed it once or twice, a shop window of alluring little objects, magic balls, magic hens, wonderful cones, ventriloquist dolls, the material of the basket trick, packs of cards that looked all right, and all that sort of thing, but never had I thought of going in until one day, almost without warning, Gip hauled me by my finger right up to the window, and so conducted himself that there was nothing for it but to take him in.

H.G. Wells _ القصص القصيرة الكاملة 4/4
ثمة قانون للطبيعة،كثيرا مانهمل التفكير فيه هو أن تعدد وازدهار اتقاد الإمكانيات العقلية بمثابة تعويض عن التغيير والخطر والمتاعب التي تواجه الإنسان،إن حيوانا في حالة تكيف كامل مع بيئته هو مجرد آلة لا تفكر.فلا تلجأ الطبيعة إلى الذكاء إلا إذا ثبت أن العادة والغريزة لا جدوى منهما.ليس ثمة ذكاء حيث لا يوجد أي تغيير ولا أي حاجة إلى التغيير. إن تلك الحيوانات التي لا تشارك إلا جزئيا في الذكاء هي التي عليها أن تواجه تنوعا هائلا في الحاجات والأخطار.

H.G. Wells _ The War of the Worlds
Wells recognized that these crude novels correctly foresaw modern warfare as aiming at the massive destruction of the physical structures of an enemy civilization and the terrorizing if not annihilating of its noncombatant population. His Martians anticipate with uncomfortable accuracy, for example, American bombings of Dresden and Tokyo, followed by Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and boastful proclamations of "shock and awe" tactics against Iraq.

H.G. Wells _ The Diamond Maker
Sometimes I doubt if the game is worth the candle. {...} But I know if I abandoned my ambition-hardly as she uses me-I should have nothing but remorse left for the rest of my days.

H.G. Wells _ The Invisible Man
For the man who stood there shouting some incoherent explanation, was a solid gesticulating figure up to the coat-collar of him, and then - nothingness, no visible thing at all!

H.G. Wells _ The Holy Terror
They ought not to have let things come to this," he said, but he was never very clear even to himself who or why "They" were nor what "This" was. Some person or persons unknown was to blame. He hated these unknowns in general. But he was unable to focus his hatred into hating some responsible person or persons in particular. If only he could find who it was had neglected to do something, or had done something wrong or messed about with things, they would catch it. He'd get even with them somehow.

Go to the devil!" said the stranger in a tremendous voice, and "Shut that door after you." So that brief interview terminated.

H.G. Wells _ The Invisible Man
To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man - the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks

H.G. Wells _ القصص القصيرة الكاملة 2/4
إن ترف الطلاق بعيد عن كل منهما،والتعريف القديم التقليدي للزواج بأنه الحياة معا على السراء والضراء لا يناسبه أبدا،إذ بلغت الأمور ذروتها المأساوية. إن البنائين حين يغضبون من زوجاتهم،فإنهم يركلونهن حتى الموت،والنبلاء يخونون زوجاتهم،أما بين الموظفين الصغار وأصحاب المتاجر فقد تفشت في الوقت الحاضر عادة ذبح زوجاتهم بلا رحمة!
