“Find the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure that鈥檚 it, and do it with all your might. If you live, well and good. If you die, well and good. Your purpose is done”
― H.G. Wells

“Life is two things. Life is morality 鈥� life is adventure. Squire and master. Adventure rules, and morality looks up the trains in the Bradshaw. Morality tells you what is right, and adventure moves you. If morality means anything it means keeping bounds, respecting implications, respecting implicit bounds. If individuality means anything it means breaking bounds 鈥� adventure.”
― H.G. Wells

“I could feel a small polished stone sinking through the darkest waters of my heart. All those deep convoluted channels and passageways, and yet she managed to toss her pebble right down to the bottom of it all.”
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

“We live not for ourselves鈥� it鈥檚 what my father always said to justify the sacrifices he had to make, like not spending enough time with me and Mom鈥� or not marrying the woman he loved. But I never knew they had a child together.鈥�
[...]
The dark outlines of the trees, the patches of star-filled sky, Clarke鈥檚 stunned expression, the nervous face of the kid Bellamy had once thought he hated, but now seemed to be鈥� something else entirely. 鈥淪o that makes you鈥︹€�
鈥淵our half brother.鈥� Wells let the final word hang in the air, as if giving both of them time to examine the shape of it before they claimed it for their own. 鈥淚 guess you and Octavia aren鈥檛 the only siblings in the Colony anymore.鈥�
A laugh escaped from Bellamy鈥檚 lips before he had time to stop it. 鈥淗alf brothers,鈥� he repeated. 鈥淭his is insane.鈥� He shook his head, and with a grin, extended his arm and reached for Wells鈥檚 hand. 鈥淏rothers.”

“I incessantly look for water in wells dug by men, and I have drunk enough sand to prove it.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Men can dig wells, but they can鈥檛 create water.”

“After digging a thousand wells of my own and stumbling upon a thousand others dug by the hands of thirsty men, I have yet to realize that the only well that can satiate every thirst is the one that men will never dig.”

“Today, he鈥檇 observed them seize a woman who鈥檇 gotten pregnant with an unregistered child. There鈥檇 be no chance at lenience. She would be Confined until she gave birth, the child would be placed in the Council鈥檚 care, and the mother would be executed. The ship could only support a certain number of lives, and allowing anyone to disrupt the delicate balance would jeopardize the entire race.”
― Kass Morgan, The 100

“It's a pity they make themselves so unapproachable,' he said. 'It would be curious to know how they live on another planet, we might learn a thing or two.”
― H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds

“The development of the telescope marks, indeed, a new phase in human thought, a new vision of life. It is an extraordinary thing that the Greeks, with their lively and penetrating minds, never realized the possibilities of either microscope or telescope. They made no use of the lens. Yet they lived in a world in which glass had been known and had been made beautiful for hundreds of years; they had about them glass flasks and bottles, through which they must have caught glimpses of things distorted and enlarged. But science in Greece was pursued by philosophers in an aristocratic spirit, men who, with a few such exceptions as the ingenious Archimedes and Hiero, were too proud to learn from such mere artisans as jewellers and metal- and glass-workers.

Ignorance is the first penalty of pride. The philosopher had no mechanical skill and the artisan had no philosophical education, and it was left for another age, more than a thousand years later, to bring together glass and the astronomer.”
― H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 1

“This ancient city is made of stone and stone walls that have not fallen yet. Like paradise it is bounded by rivers, and contains fabulous beasts. Most of them have heads. If you drink from the wells, and there are many, you might live forever, but there is no guarantee you will live forever as you are. You might mutate.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

“Y as铆, con parsimonia de estalactita, el ser confeccion贸 el caballete de una delicada osamenta que enseguida qued贸 encapotada por un ondulante manto de carne, nervios y tendones. Tras el enrejado del estern贸n asomaron entonces los esponjosos pulmones que lanzaron a trav茅s de la cerbatana de la tr谩quea reci茅n colocada un reguero de vaho, anegando la urna con la tibia novedad de una respiraci贸n.”
― F茅lix J. Palma, The Map of the Sky

“鈥擡l verdadero artista 鈥攅xplic贸 el cuadro鈥� es siempre un hombre ignorante. Un artista que teoriza sobre su trabajo ya no es un artista sino un cr铆tico.”
― H.G. Wells, The Stolen Bacillus

“Si te gusta la literatura elegante conecta t煤 tel茅fono con Bruggles. El autor m谩s grande de todos los tiempos. El pensador m谩s grande de todos los tiempos. Te ense帽a Moral hasta la coronilla. La viva imagen de S贸crates, salvo el cogote que es el de Shakespeare. Tiene seis dedos en los pies, viste de rojo y no se lava nunca los dientes. Esc煤chale.”
― H.G. Wells

“Bajo las estrellas uno puede estirarse hacia arriba y llegar a la resignaci贸n cualquiera que sea la desgracia, pero en el calor y la tensi贸n del d铆a de trabajo caemos de nuevo, vienen la indignaci贸n y la ira y los estados de 谩nimo intolerables. 隆Qu茅 peque帽a es toda nuestra magnanimidad, un accidente, una fase! Hasta los santos antiguos ten铆an primero que huir del mundo.”
― H.G. Wells

“Ahora sabemos lo suficiente para saber que todav铆a no sabemos bastante... Pero la hora se acerca de todos modos. Usted no ver谩 la hora. Pero, entre nosotros, ustedes los ricos, los dirigentes pol铆ticos con su juego natural de las pasiones, el patriotismo, la religi贸n y todo lo dem谩s han liado bastante las cosas, 驴no es verdad?”
― H.G. Wells

“It is an old custom. Men of good-intentions and goodwill who have the means stud the land around forlorn villages with fine groves and wells for the general comfort of travelers, and also so people from posterity while resting in the shade and refreshing themselves would think of them and would think kindly.”
― Mukta Singh-Zocchi, The Thugs & a Courtesan

“Should people not draw water from its source.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“I will first seek out the truth in the purest form that I am able to find it. And then I will embrace the immense privilege that I have been granted to weave words into syntax in order to deliver that truth into the hearts of those who thirst for words of truth woven into a syntax that digs wells.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Nobody wins at war and fight is the desolation of the oppressor.”
