Jules Verne paid a price to be a writer. What might he have accomplished had he turned his inventive genius to science instead of writing? I’ll bet you he would’ve been just as great.
We’ll never know.
We do know this — he inspired young people to become scientists, explorers, inventors and engineers. He dreamed possibilities, wrote them into fascinating stories, and others turned his visions into realities. Still, Jules Verne paid a price – the same price all great writers must pay. He gave his time and his heart to it.
