More quotes by 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
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
So is man's heart. The desire to perform a work which will endure, which will survive him, is the origin of his superiority over all other living creatures here below. It is this which has established his dominion, and this it is which justifies it, over all the world.
Jules Verne
Ah, monsieur, to live in the bosom of the sea! Only there can independence be found! There I recognize no master! There I am free!
Jules Verne
If there were no thunder, men would have little fear of lightning.
Jules Verne
[we see that] science is eminently perfectible, and that each theory has constantly to give way to a fresh one.
Jules Verne
How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!
Jules Verne
The sole precoccupation of this learned society was the destruction of humanity for philanthropic reasons and the perfection of weapons as instruments of civilization.
Jules Verne
I can undertake and persevere even without hope of success.
Jules Verne
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
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
Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
Jules Verne
The colonists had no library at their disposal but the engineer was a book which was always at hand, always open at the page which one wanted, a book which answered all their questions, and which they often consulted.
Jules Verne
You will travel in a Land of Marvels
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
An English criminal, you know is always better concealed in London than anywhere else.
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
The human mind delights in grand conceptions of supernatural beings.
Jules Verne
The distance between the earth and her satellite is a mere trifle, and undeserving of serious consideration. I am convinced that before twenty years are over one-half of our earth will have paid a visit to the moon.
Jules Verne
Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.
