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
Dinner was ready. Professor Lidenbrock did full justice to it, for his compulsory fast on board had turned his stomach into an unfathomable gulf.
Jules Verne

How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!

I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new
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

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!
