Quotes by H. G. Wells
From WikiquoteHow small the vastest of human catastrophes may seem at a distance of a few million miles.
"We were making the future," he said, "and hardly any of us troubled to think what future we were making. And here it is!"
If it is proper to ’reconstitute’ a Jewish State which has not existed for two thousand years, why not go back another thousand years end reconstitute the Canaanite state? The Canaanites, unlike the Jews, are still there.
