... consciousness. Is a modern scientist more evolved in consciousness than Aristotle or Leonardo da Vinci? Is Stalin on a higher plane of being than Draco or Lycurgus or our own Buddhist Asoka whom H. G. Wells, himself a scientific mind, calls the most enlightened ruler the world has seen? Not the outer mould but the inner reality determines progress. Monarchy, oligarchy, aristocracy, plutocracy, democracy ...
... Time fleets. However, this was demythologised by Newton who proposed an absolute time, true and mathematical; of itself it flows equally without relation to anything external. Out of this H. G. Wells could create a fiction, The Time Machine, so real that one could travel backward and forward in time. The absolute time did not make sense. Einsteinian physics laid down the law that light should ...
... that matter, any intellect which has been too acutely alive to the "still sad music of humanity" and forgotten or at least underrated the beatific harmonies of the superhuman wisdom of God. Has not H. G. Wells, an idealist of our own day, uttered the crashing blasphemy that he would spit in the face of a God who did not utilise His almightiness to lend a fiat to "the Open Conspiracy" by which a "Capit ...
... s conducted at this school, he studied the entire gamut of problems encountered in the teaching-learning process. Commenting on the educational objects of his experimental school in a letter to H. G. Wells (24 May 1928), he wrote: I believe profoundly in the importance of what we are doing here. If I were to put into one single phrase our educational objects, I should say that we aim at training ...
... Early Cultural Writings "God, the Invisible King" A remarkable book with this title by the well-known writer and thinker, Mr. H. G. Wells, has recently appeared, of which only a few extracts are before us, but these are sufficient to reveal its character and thought. It is on the part of the writer, speaking not for himself personally alone but ...

All propensity to make me figure in the big Barnum circus of journalistic "features" along with or in competition with Joe Louis the prize-fighter, Douglas Fairbanks, H. G. Wells, King George and Queen Mary, Haile Selassie, Hobbs, Hitler, Jack the Ripper (or any modern substitute of his) and Mussolini should Page 687 be strictly banished from the mentality for ...
... Buddha's face—the godlike peace which is beyond all sorrow yet goes out to all sorrow as a heavenly healing power, both inward and outward. Would any one try to catch that expression on the face of H. G. Wells?... The portrait of Buddha in the Wellsian manner cast my mind back to another which I had considered Page 32 disappointing too. The author responsible for it had ...
... literary debut with a group of poems marked by a piercing psychical and intellectual passion. Published about the same time, his volume of critical essays entitled Parnassians elided from H. G.

... ghee every time and pour it on all that he ate. When I look at people I always try to fix them in my mind by comparing them to some author or other. And this person looked like the famous novelist H. G. Wells. So I began to call him H. Ghee Wells! (laughter) Now, he was a man who used to be very sensitive and very impulsive. One evening he was found missing. And people wondered where he had gone. Those ...
... I saw the last stone fall on the boy. The two of them were sitting side by side; the stone was thrown straight at them, but there was no third person in the room - unless the 'Invisible Man' of H. G. Wells was present! "Until then we had been watching the incident, making our own observations. But when we found that things were going too far, were becoming dangerous even, we decided that something ...
