“Yes I love it ! The sea is everything, It covers seventh-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an Immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the ‘Living Infinite,’ as one of your poets has said. In fact, Professor, nature manifests herself in it by her three kingdoms, mineral, vegetable, and animal. The sea is the vast reservoir of Nature. The globe began with sea, so to speck; and who knows if it will not end with it? In it is supreme tranquillity. The sea does not belong to deposits. Upon its surface men can still exercise unjust laws, fight, tear one another to pieces, and be carried away with terrestrial horrors. But at thirty feet below is level, their reign ceases, their influence is quenched, and their power disappears. Ah! sir, live—live in the bosom if the waters! There only is independence ! There I recognize no masters ! There I am free !”
Captain Nemo (20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Verne)

“I am not what you call a civilized man! I have done with society entirely, for reasons which I alone have the right of appreciating. I do not therefore Obey its laws, and I desire you never to allude to them before me again.”

I want to start a collection of this book, from all different times with different covers. I can’t even find one copy, though, in any bookstore. I ordered one a few weeks ago, but they never called to say it came in. I hope I can find one soon!

This is my favorite part of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
I love Captain Nemo so much. I used to daydream that he would appear and whisk me away in his submarine and teach me about marine life. I would fall asleep in his library every night. It would be the perfect Platonic relationship, in a more archaic use of the term (I’m a stickler for etymology- it would mean a symbiotic relationship geared toward the pursuit of knowledge).

Books I want to read
I was a decent reader as a kid but never took interest in these old stories, but now as I aged a little these books of old seem pretty interesting. Some of them I’ve read but did it half assed and then their is the one by Milton William Cooper that my friend has been beging me to read as a lot of the information in it seems relevant. I will def be adding more to my list and everyone is welcome to recommend some more.
