Jacques Cousteau

If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed, and if we are not willing to change we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.

Sometimes we are lucky enough to know that our lives have been changed, to discard the old, embrace the new, and turn headlong down an immutable course.

When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

If we were logical, the future would be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope and we can work.

Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. . . . We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters...and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

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.
