More quotes by Jules Verne
Anything capable of being imagined will one day be made reality.
Jules Verne
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
What a big book, captain, might be made with all that is known! And what a much bigger book still with all that is not known!
Jules Verne
I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.
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
Man is never perfect nor contented.
Jules Verne
Science, my lad, has been built upon many errors but they are errors which it was good to fall into, for they led to the truth.
Jules Verne
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
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
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
[we see that] science is eminently perfectible, and that each theory has constantly to give way to a fresh one.
Jules Verne
Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.
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
An English criminal, you know is always better concealed in London than anywhere else.
Jules Verne
Well, I feel that we should always put a little art into what we do. It's better that way.
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
As for difficulties, replied Ferguson, in a serious tone, they were made to be overcome.
Jules Verne
The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
Jules Verne
Steam seems to have killed all gratitude in the hearts of sailors.
Jules Verne
In lighthearted countries, people joked about this phenomenon, but such serious, practical countries as England, America, and Germany were deeply concerned.
