Quotation of the Day for February 25, 2012



"Again I ask the reader to note the warnings I gave in that year, twenty years ago. Is there anything to add to that preface now? Nothing except my epitaph. That, when the time comes, will manifestly have to be: 'I told you so. You _damned_ fools.' (The italics are mine.)"

- H. G. Wells, in the Preface to the 1941 edition of The War In The Air (first published in 1908, and republished 1921).
