The Editors’ Quote of the Day:

“Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness. The work of ameliorating the conditions of life — the true civilizing process that makes life more and more secure — had gone steadily on to a climax… And the harvest was what I saw.” – H.G. Wells, The Time Machine

    If that is so, it remains for us to live as though it were not so.”

    —H.G. Wells, The Time Machine
