Jules Verne
Image
In lighthearted countries, people joked about this phenomenon, but such serious, practical countries as England, America, and Germany were deeply concerned.
Jules Verne

Jules Verne

What use are the best of arguments when they can be destroyed by force?
Jules Verne
Image

Jules Verne

Aures habent et non audient` - `They have ears but hear not
Jules Verne
Image
We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition!
Jules Verne
Image
I can undertake and persevere even without hope of success.
Jules Verne
Image
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

What darkness to you is light to me
Jules Verne
Image
If there were no thunder, men would have little fear of lightning.
