Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness.
H.G. Wellsنقل عينيه إلى ضفة النهر، حيث الغابة بغموضها تنيرها من حين لآخر ذبابة مضيئة، ويدوي في جوها صوت نشاطات غامضة تجري بها.
كان يعرف أن السماء خالية من البشر، مساحة شاسعة من الخواء، ويعرف أن المحيط هائل غير قابل للترويض، لكنه في (إنجلترا) تعلَّم أن البَرّ هو مِلك خاص للإنسان، حتى في أطلس الجغرافيا كان يرى البر ملونا كأنما يؤكد حق الإنسان فيه، على النقيض من لون البحر الأزرق المستقل الممتد.
وكان يؤمن وقتها أن يد الإنسان ستمتد بالزراعة والمحاريث والضوء الكهربائي والطرق والترام إلى كل بقعة في هذه الأرض، لكنه الآن يشك في هذا. هذه الغابة بلا نهاية. ومن المؤكد أنها لا تُقهر. وليس الإنسان سوى متطفل أحمق عليها.
In a moment I was clutched by several hands, and there was no mistaking that they were trying to haul me back. I struck another light, and waved it in their dazzled faces. You can scarce imagine how nauseatingly inhuman they looked—those pale, chinless faces and great, lidless, pinkish-grey eyes!—as they stared in their blindness and bewilderment.
H.G. WellsIf after all my Atheology turns out wrong and your Theology right I feel I shall always be able to pass into Heaven (if I want to) as a friend of G.K.C.'s. Bless you.

The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking as it seemed from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried. He staggered into the Coarch and Horses, more dead than alive as it seemed, and flung his portmanteau down. "A fire," he cried, "in the name of human charity! A room and a fire!" He stamped and shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs. Hall into her guest parlour to strike his bargain. And with that much introduction, that and a ready acquiescence to terms and a couple of sovereigns flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in the inn.

Now whenever things are so that a lot of people feel they ought to be doing something, the weak, and those who go weak with a lot of complicated thinking, always make for a sort of do-nothing religion, very pious and superior, and submit to persecution and the will of the Lord.

By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.
H.G. WellsYou must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or two ideas that are almost universally accepted. The geometry, for instance, they taught you at school is founded on a misconception.
H.G. Wellshaz ve acının cennet ve cehennemle hiçbir ilgisi yoktur. haz ve acı- pöh! karanlıkta, senin teoloğunun esrimesinin muhammet’in hurilerinden ne farkı vardır ki. erkekler ve kadınların haz ve acı üzerine kurdukları bu pazar onların üzerindeki hayvan damgasıdır. kendisinden geldikleri hayvanın onlar üzerindeki damgası. acı! acı ve haz, bunlar sadece toz toprak içinde yuvarlandığımız sürece işe yarar.
