“Počela je razmišljati na koje sve načine opisujemo smrt i kako se o smrti svi boje pričati, to ju je oduvijek zanimalo. Šteta što čovjek nikada ne može voditi inteligentan razgovor o toj temi. Ili si premlad, ili prestar, ili nemaš vremena.”

“I much prefer the old-fashioned comparisons of the Double Liegeois, which inform you simply: the Sun is a pumpkin, two feet in diameter, Jupiter an orange, Saturn a love-apple, Neptune a black cherry, Uranus a smaller cherry, the Earth a bean, Venus a pea, Mars a large pin's head, Mercury a mustard seed, and Juno, Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas mere grains of sand. One can understand that sort of thing.”
― Jules Verne, From Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon
