The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.
Jacques Yves CousteauOur society is turning toward more and more needless consumption. It is a vicious circle that I compare to cancer . . . . Should we eliminate suffering, diseases? The idea is beautiful, but perhaps not a benefit for the long term. We should not allow our dread of diseases to endanger the future of our species. . . . In order to stabilize world population, we need to eliminate 350,000 people a day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it.
Jacques Yves CousteauWhen one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
