Jules Verne

Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.
Jules Verne
Image
Civilization never recedes the law of necessity ever forces it onwards.
Jules Verne
Image
External objects produce decided effects upon the brain. A man shut up between four walls soon loses the power to associate words and ideas together. How many prisoners in solitary confinement become idiots, if not mad, for want of exercise for the thinking faculty!
Jules Verne

I am nothing to you but Captain Nemo and you and your companions are nothing to me but the passengers of the Nautilus.
Jules Verne
Image
As long as the heart beats, as long as body and soul keep together, I cannot admit that any creature endowed with a will has need to despair of life.
