H.G. Wells Quotes

Herbert George Wells aka H.G. Wells, was born in September 21, 1866, Bromley, Kent, England. He was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. He set out to write a book about the young Wells, covering his formation. He was not born into wealth or privilege. In 1883, Wells won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London where he discovered his interest in science. Wells married his cousin, Isabel Mary Wells, in 1891, but left her in 1894 for a former student, Amy Catherine Robbins. The couple married in 1895. Wells’ first fiction novel, “The Time Machine,” was published the same year.
