Jules Verne
Image
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
Image
What pen can describe this scene of marvellous horror what pencil can portray it?

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

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 chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.
Jules Verne
Image
All that is impossible remains to be accomplished.
Jules Verne
Image
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
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
Until I discover the meaning of this sentence, I will neither eat nor sleep. My dear uncle- I began. Nor you either, he added.
Jules Verne

Anything capable of being imagined will one day be made reality.
