More quotes by Jules Verne
I have always made a point in my romances of basing my so-called inventions upon a groundwork of actual fact, and of using in their construction methods and materials which are not entirely without the pale of contemporary engineering skill and knowledge.
Jules Verne
And whichsoever way thou goest, may fortune follow.
Jules Verne
When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Jules Verne
The distance between the earth and her satellite is a mere trifle, and undeserving of serious consideration. I am convinced that before twenty years are over one-half of our earth will have paid a visit to the moon.
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

Jules Verne
The human mind delights in grand conceptions of supernatural beings.
Jules Verne
Civilization never recedes the law of necessity ever forces it onwards.
Jules Verne
Travel enables us to enrich our lives with new experiences, to enjoy and to be educated, to learn respect for foreign cultures, to establish friendships, and above all to contribute to international cooperation and peace throughout the world.
Jules Verne
I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new
Jules Verne
Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.
Jules Verne
Everything is possible for an eccentric, especially when he is English.
Jules Verne
You are going to visit the land of marvels.
Jules Verne
An English criminal, you know is always better concealed in London than anywhere else.
Jules Verne
So is man's heart. The desire to perform a work which will endure, which will survive him, is the origin of his superiority over all other living creatures here below. It is this which has established his dominion, and this it is which justifies it, over all the world.
Jules Verne
