In order to save the planet it would be necessary to kill 350,000 people per day.
Jacques Yves CousteauHowever fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day. I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence. The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope.

Jacques Yves CousteauIf 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.

Nothing I did altered the automatic rhythm of the air. Delivered from gravity and buoyancy, I flew around in space.
