Man, a mere inhabitant of the earth, cannot overstep its boundaries! But though he is confined to its crust, he may penetrate into all its secrets. - Jules Verne (The Steam House Quotes)

Man, a mere inhabitant of the earth, cannot overstep its boundaries! But though he is confined to its crust, he may penetrate into all its secrets.[L’homme, simple habitant de la terre, ne saurait en franchir les bornes ! Mais s’il est rivé à son écorce, il peut en pénétrer tous les secrets.]
