We are living in an interminable succession of absurdities imposed by the myopic logic of short-term thinking.

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.

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

We have to prepare for what life could become in 40 years. We need to outline what is possible and what is impossible with the non-renewable resources of the Earth. What role will technological improvement play? Taking all this into account, what kind of life can we produce in the best way for 10 billion people? That's a problem that needs to be solved.

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.

The awareness of our environment came progressively in all countries with different outlets.

However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
