20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

"The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is healthy and pure. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides."

"The sea does not belong to despots. Upon its surface men can still exercise unjust laws, fight, tear one another to pieces, and be carried away by terrestrial horrors. But at thirty feet below its level, their reign ceases, their influence is quenched, and their power disappears."

"I am not what you call a civilized man! I have done with society for reasons which I alone have the right to judge."

"There is a powerful agent, obedient, rapid, easy, which conforms to every use and reigns supreme on board my vessel. Everything is done by means of it. It lights it, warms it, and is the soul of my mechanical equipment."

"The past is dead, Professor, and I am dead to the world, to the society that has disowned me. Do not seek to understand my motives; they are locked away in the depths of the sea, just as I am."

"Man does not need new lands, but new eyes to see the wonders that have always been beneath the waves."
