Anything you can imagine you can make real.
Jules Verne
Image
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
Image
If there were no thunder, men would have little fear of lightning.
Jules Verne
Image
I say, you do have a heart! Sometimes, he replied, when I have the time.
Jules Verne
Image
....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

Travel enables us to enrich our lives with new experiences, to enjoy and to be educated, to learn respect for foreign cultures, to establish friendships, and above all to contribute to international cooperation and peace throughout the world.
Jules Verne

Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.
Jules Verne
Image
I have always made a point in my romances of basing my so-called inventions upon a groundwork of actual fact, and of using in their construction methods and materials which are not entirely without the pale of contemporary engineering skill and knowledge.
Jules Verne
Image
The Nautilus was piercing the water with its sharp spur, after having accomplished nearly ten thousand leagues in three months and a half, a distance greater than the great circle of the earth. Where were we going now, and what was reserved for the future?
Jules Verne
Image
The wisest man may be a blind father.
Jules Verne
Image
I wanted to see what no one had yet observed, even if I had to pay for this curiosity with my life.
Jules Verne
Image
Steam seems to have killed all gratitude in the hearts of sailors.
Jules Verne
Image
A cow peacefully grazing fifty yards away received one of the bullets in her back. She had nothing to do with the quarrel all the same.
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
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
Image
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
Image
Man is never perfect nor contented.
Jules Verne
Image
It seems wisest to assume the worst from the beginning...and let anything better come as a surprise.
Jules Verne
Image
All great actions return to God, from whom they are derived.
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
