Quote

While there is life there is hope. I beg to assert...that as long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.

Jules Verne
Image
The Nautilus was piercing the water with its sharp spur, after having accomplished nearly ten thousand leagues in three months and a half, a distance greater than the great circle of the earth. Where were we going now, and what was reserved for the future?
Jules Verne
Image
Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.
Jules Verne

What use are the best of arguments when they can be destroyed by force?
Jules Verne
Image
Until I discover the meaning of this sentence, I will neither eat nor sleep. My dear uncle- I began. Nor you either, he added.
Jules Verne
Image
I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.

Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
