| New York Times: "Mr. Wells's dramatic power is of the strongest, and though 'War of the Worlds' deals with death, desolation and ruin, he has known how to manage a terrible topic in a clever and ingenuous way. What are we after all in the great cosmogony, but ants?...Take any convulsion of nature, as an earthquake, and how weak and impotent man is. Perhaps that is the lesson Mr. Wells may wish to impart. We are, after all, but the weakling lords of this world." | |

| But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be inhabited?...Are we or they Lords of the World?...And how are all things made for man? | |
| No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. | |
