Jules Verne
Man is never perfect nor contented.
Jules Verne

Jules Verne
Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.
Jules Verne
Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.
Jules Verne
We were alone. Where, I could not say, hardly imagine. All was black, and such a dense black that, after some minutes, my eyes had not been able to discern even the faintest glimmer.
Jules Verne
Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!
Jules Verne
