The human mind delights in grand conceptions of supernatural beings.
Jules Verne
Image
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
Image
It seems wisest to assume the worst from the beginning...and let anything better come as a surprise.
Jules Verne
Image
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
Image
Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.
Jules Verne

Jules Verne

Jules Verne
Image
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.

Jules Verne
Image
Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
Jules Verne
Image
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
Image
Steam seems to have killed all gratitude in the hearts of sailors.
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
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
If there were no thunder, men would have little fear of lightning.
Jules Verne
Image
As for difficulties, replied Ferguson, in a serious tone, they were made to be overcome.
Jules Verne
Image
He who is mistaken in an action which he sincerely believes to be right may be an enemy, but retains our esteem.
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.
