Jules Verne
The wisest man may be a blind father.
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
If there were no thunder, men would have little fear of lightning.
Jules Verne
I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.
Jules Verne
Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.
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
