"A Journey To The Center Of The Earth" Quotes

I believe that we are not far from the centre now.

The chances of safety are very slight when the earth opens to receive us.

I could not tell you the depth to which we have descended.

I felt that the descent was very rapid, and for half an hour we passed through the Earth's crust.

I could not help giving way to the emotion of incredulity.

We were in the immense hollow that held the sea itself!

We were in the hands of the most terrible of tempests!

I am almost certain that I have seen traces of man's hand.
