From Charles Dickens to Jules Verne ... sixteen years and one day

Some bits of Jules Verne, born on this day in 1828:
"Ah! sir, live—live in the bosom of the waters! There only is independence! There I recognise no masters! There I am free!"
Never was solitude equal to this, never had any living being been so utterly forsaken.
"It was just when I was alone that I was not afraid."
