Jules Verne
Image
Well, I feel that we should always put a little art into what we do. It's better that way.
Jules Verne

Jules Verne
Image
Dinner was ready. Professor Lidenbrock did full justice to it, for his compulsory fast on board had turned his stomach into an unfathomable gulf.
Jules Verne
Image
Civilization never recedes the law of necessity ever forces it onwards.
Jules Verne
Image
How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!
Jules Verne
Image
It is certain, exclaimed my uncle in a tone of triumph. But silence, do you hear me? silence upon the whole subject and let no one get before us in this design of discovering the centre of the earth.
