More quotes by Jules Verne
Why lower oneself to taking pride from being American or British, when you can boast of being man!
Jules Verne
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
An English criminal, you know is always better concealed in London than anywhere else.
Jules Verne
How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!
Jules Verne

Jules Verne

Jules Verne
What pen can describe this scene of marvellous horror what pencil can portray it?
Jules Verne
While there is life there is hope. I beg to assert...that as long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.
Jules Verne
Ah, monsieur, to live in the bosom of the sea! Only there can independence be found! There I recognize no master! There I am free!
Jules Verne
Better to put things at the worst at first and reserve the best for a surprise.
Jules Verne
In lighthearted countries, people joked about this phenomenon, but such serious, practical countries as England, America, and Germany were deeply concerned.
Jules Verne
Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
Jules Verne
Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.
Jules Verne
Therever fortune clears a way, thither our ready footsteps stray.
Jules Verne
