More quotes by Jules Verne
What use are the best of arguments when they can be destroyed by force?
Jules Verne
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
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
Well, I feel that we should always put a little art into what we do. It's better that way.
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 sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion it is the 'Living Infinite.
Jules Verne
The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.
Jules Verne
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.
Jules Verne
Anything you can imagine you can make real.
Jules Verne
There are no impossible obstacles there are just stronger and weaker wills, that’s all!
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
Why lower oneself to taking pride from being American or British, when you can boast of being man!
Jules Verne
As for Phileas Fogg, it seemed just as if the typhoon were a part of his programme
Jules Verne
Therever fortune clears a way, thither our ready footsteps stray.
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
I believe cats to be spirits come to earth.
Jules Verne
Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
Jules Verne
In lighthearted countries, people joked about this phenomenon, but such serious, practical countries as England, America, and Germany were deeply concerned.
Jules Verne
Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.
Jules Verne
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
