When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Jules Verne
Image
Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.
Jules Verne
Image
I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new
Jules Verne
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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

Until I discover the meaning of this sentence, I will neither eat nor sleep. My dear uncle- I began. Nor you either, he added.
Jules Verne
Image
Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!
Jules Verne
Image
In lighthearted countries, people joked about this phenomenon, but such serious, practical countries as England, America, and Germany were deeply concerned.
Jules Verne
Image
Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
Jules Verne
Image
Anything you can imagine you can make real.
Jules Verne
Image
We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition!
Jules Verne
Image
It swam crossways in the direction of the Nautilus with great speed, watching us with its enormous staring green eyes. Its eight arms, or rather feet, fixed to its head, that have given the name of cephalopod to these animals, were twice as long as its body, and were twisted like the furies' hair.
Jules Verne
Image
But to find, all at once, right before your eyes, that the impossible had been mysteriously achieved by man himself: this staggers the mind!
Jules Verne
