H. G. Wells
"HE was an extraordinarily copious and quick-minded talker. Besides this, he had a delightful robin-like laugh of mischief-two or three tiny pips of sound that invited everybody else to laugh with him. There was never the smallest suggestion that he thought himself an exceptional person. No pomposity, no outward gravity. He belonged to a generation that in Bernard Shaw’s phrase, ‘hadn’t the great man feeling.’ " -Frank Swinnerton in a BBC programme.
