Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Abandon all hope all ye who enter here.”
“Interesting that Dante wrote that in the 14th century. The same time period that your Russian friend, Arkady Saknussov, disappeared into that same underworld.”
“What is darkness to you is light to me” ― Jules Verne
“We’re at the center of the Earth.”
“I dream with my eyes open,” he whispered. It was one of his favorite quotes from Jules Verne, and it was never more appropriate than now.
“Ty vsegda byl durakom,”
“This is madness.” “No, this is Sparta.”
“There are no impossible obstacles; there are just stronger and weaker wills.” Jules Verne
“Remind me in my notes to say something a little less cryptic than: hold your damn breath.”
“Yeah, danger. A pack of animals that look like a cross between a praying mantis and a Tyrannosaurus rex are chasing our ride.”

“Maggie?” Andy asked. “What are you going to have first?” She laughed. “A damn long bath.”
“I had the strangest dream. I dreamed you and I were at the center of the Earth.” He leaned closer to her. “Do you want the good or bad news?” He laughed softly. Jane opened her eyes. “Oh God, it’s real.”

“It’s okay, Harry, we’re safe for now. Tell us, what did you see?” Michael asked. Wenton stared straight ahead. He laughed, but the sound was almost a sob. “Lovecraft,” he said.
“As long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers—while there is life there is hope.” ― Jules Verne
long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light.
“How many things have been denied one day, only to become realities the next?” ― Jules Verne
