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
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
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
Science, my lad, has been built upon many errors but they are errors which it was good to fall into, for they led to the truth.
Jules Verne
There is hope for the future, and when the world is ready for a new and better life, all these things will some day come to pass, - in God's good time
Jules Verne
Anything capable of being imagined will one day be made reality.
Jules Verne
....oysters are the only food that never causes indigestion. Indeed, a man would have to eat sixteen dozen of these acephalous molluscs in order to gain the 315 grammes of nitrogen he requires daily.
Jules Verne
I say, you do have a heart! Sometimes, he replied, when I have the time.
