H.G. Wells on Civilization

H.G. Wells had completed his great work

on the history of the world .... And he has made tremendously important statements in his rare book.

For example, he has said about Gautam Buddha that ”He was the most godless, yet the most godly  man that has ever walked on the earth.”

His book was the talk of all the intellectuals around the world, and one intellectual journalist interviewed him about the book. His first question was, ”What do you think about civilization?” And the answer that H.G. Wells gave is of such depth that it has not to be forgotten; it is still fresh and new.

He said, ”The idea of civilization is good, but somebody must do something about it, because it is still an idea. Civilization has not happened. Researching for my book on world history, I have

come to know that man is still uncivilized.”
