Image
Man is never perfect nor contented.
Jules Verne
Image
A cow peacefully grazing fifty yards away received one of the bullets in her back. She had nothing to do with the quarrel all the same.

Jules Verne
Image
How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!

However, everything has an end, everything passes away, even the hunger of people who have not eaten
Jules Verne
Image
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.
Jules Verne
Image
The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
Jules Verne
Image
