Jules Verne
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.
Jules Verne
Therever fortune clears a way, thither our ready footsteps stray.
Jules Verne
The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion it is the 'Living Infinite.
Jules Verne
