- H.G. Wells

About this Quote

This quote by H. G. Wells is a metaphor for wishing to take control of one's own destiny. Daddy Time is a symbol of the unstoppable passage of time, and the scythe is a tool utilized to lower crops. By saying he wants to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of his own, Wells is revealing a desire to take control of his own life and make his own decisions, instead of being a passive observer of life's events. He wishes to be the one to decide when and how things take place, instead of having them take place to him. This quote is a suggestion that all of us have the power to form our own lives, which we need to take advantage of the opportunities that come our way. It is a call to action to take control of our own fates and make the most of our lives.
