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
Therever fortune clears a way, thither our ready footsteps stray.
Jules Verne

Jules Verne
Image
It is certain, exclaimed my uncle in a tone of triumph. But silence, do you hear me? silence upon the whole subject and let no one get before us in this design of discovering the centre of the earth.
Jules Verne
Image
I am nothing to you but Captain Nemo and you and your companions are nothing to me but the passengers of the Nautilus.

As for difficulties, replied Ferguson, in a serious tone, they were made to be overcome.
Jules Verne
Image
Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!
Jules Verne
Image
In spite of the opinions of certain narrow-minded people who would shut up the human race upon this globe, we shall one day travel to the Moon, the planets, and the stars with the same facility, rapidity and certainty as we now make the ocean voyage from Liverpool to New York.
