Jules Verne
Spring, Glasses, Water
Jules Verne (2013). “Jules Verne Selected Works: 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Five Weeks in a Balloon, The Mysterious Island”, p.509, Lulu Press, Inc

I had no need of sails to drive me, nor oars nor wheels to push me, nor rails to give me a faster road. Air is what I wanted, that was all. Air surrounds me as water surrounds the submarine boat, and in it my propellers act like the screws of a steamer. That is how I solved the problem of aviation. That is what a balloon will never do, nor will any machine that is lighter than air.

Jules Verne
Air, Giving, Water
