Jules Verne

Jules Verne
He who is mistaken in an action which he sincerely believes to be right may be an enemy, but retains our esteem.
Jules Verne

As for Phileas Fogg, it seemed just as if the typhoon were a part of his programme
Jules Verne
I say, you do have a heart! Sometimes, he replied, when I have the time.

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.
Jules Verne
A scholar has to know a little of everything.
Jules Verne

Jules Verne
