Friday's Quote

H.G. wells is perhaps most famous for his early classics of science fiction (like The Time Machine and War of the Worlds), but he was also a notable historian who wrote one of the best overviews of the entirety of human civilizations. I imagine it was from what he discovered in researching that work that he arrived at the following conclusion:

"My idea of politics is an open conspiracy to
hurry these tiresome, wasteful, evil things--
nationality and war-- out of existence; to end
this empire and that empire, and set up
on Empire of Man"
