Jacques Yves Cousteau quotes about
nature travel ocean
For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.
ocean hands infinite
The future is in the hands of those who explore... and from all the beauty they discover while crossing perpetually receding frontiers, they develop for nature and for humankind an infinite love.
ocean men sea
The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.
ocean marine sea
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
ocean animal hunting
We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about - farming replacing hunting.
travel nature angel
The reason I love the sea I cannot explain - it's physical. When you dive you begin to feel like an angel. It's a liberation of your weight.
technology sea land
With earth's burgeoning human population to feed we must turn to the sea with understanding and new technology. We need to farm it as we farm the land.
ocean air aquariums
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
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.
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.
population-problem environmental today
Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today
peace warfare organize
We know how to organize warfare, but do we know how to act when confronted with peace?
science scientist
I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
live-concerts generosity roles
It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.
