Katherine Verne

“We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.”
― Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth

“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”
― Mason Cooley

“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.”
― Peter Jackson

“It seems wisest to assume the worst from the beginning...and let anything better come as a surprise.”
― Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island
