Inspirational Quote by H.G Wells
…In the western tradition, comets have long been identified as harbingers of change. In his 1906 novel In the Days of the Comet (set a century ago in 1910, the date of Halley’s last but one apparition) the British socialist and science fiction writer HG wells imagines the appearance of a comet over the United Kingdom which releases green gas that creates a “Great Change” in all mankind, turning away from war and exploitation and towards rationalism and a heightened appreciation of beauty. Notably, this shift in understanding is achieved not through human agency, but through an ineffable alien force.
