“Prof. Arronaux: You love the sea, Captain? Nemo: Yes! I love it! The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is the immense desert where man is never alone, because life feels quivering beside him. The sea is simply the vehicle of the supernatural and miraculous existence, it is not moving and that love is the infinite living, as he told one of your poets. In fact, Professor, Nature manifests itself there with its three kingdoms: mineral, vegetable, animal.” (Jules Verne)
