Jacques Yves Cousteau quotes about
nature
We must go and see for ourselves.
ocean air aquariums
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
ocean sea people
A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.
science men curiosity
What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.
facts world intense
However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
sea fishing land
Perhaps the time has come to formulate a moral code which would govern our relations with the great creatures of the sea as well as with those on dry land. That this will come to pass is my dear wish.
wall destiny years
The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.
ocean men animal
When we return wild animals to nature, we merely return them to what is already theirs. For man cannot give wild animals freedom, they can only take it away.
psychology study prison
It is certain that the study of human psychology, if it were undertaken exclusively in prisons, would also lead to misrepresentation and absurd generalizations.
population-problem environmental today
Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today
two excess-baggage goal
The United Nation's goal is to reduce population selectively by encouraging abortion, forced sterilization, and control of human reproduction, and regards two-thirds of the human population as excess baggage, with 350,000 people to be eliminated per day.
peace warfare organize
We know how to organize warfare, but do we know how to act when confronted with peace?
silly men animal
Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.
science scientist
I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
