What do you think of this quote?




A Jacques Cousteau Quote


The sea, once it casts its spell,

holds one in its net of wonder forever.

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.


Water and air,

the two essential fluids on which all life depends,

have become global garbage cans.


When one man, for whatever reason,

has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life,

he has no right to keep it to himself.

The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist.


For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.

It is certain that the study of human psychology,

if it were undertaken exclusively in prisons,

would also lead to misrepresentation and absurd generalizations.


I am not a scientist.
