Herbert Wells

 Mankind in the Making

They will in their own time take this world as a sculptor takes his marble and shape it better than all our dreams.

, a literature not simply of thought and science but of power, which shall embody and make real and living the sustaining dreams of the coming time, and which shall draw together and bring into intelligent correlation all those men and women who are working now discontentedly and wastefully towards a better order of life.
