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.

More quotes by Jacques Yves Cousteau
The United Nation's goal is to reduce population selectively by encouraging abortion, forced sterilization, and control of human reproduction, and regards two-thirds of the human population as excess baggage, with 350,000 people to be eliminated per day.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The little bee returns with evening's gloom, To join her comrades in the braided hive, Where, housed beside their might honey-comb, They dream their polity shall long survive. Charles Tennyson Turner - A Summer Night in the Bee Hive The happiness of the bee & the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that & to wonder at it.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
If human civilization is going to invade the waters of the earth, then let it be first of all to carry a message of respect.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
I experimented with all possible maneuvers-loops, somersaults and barrel rolls. I stood upside down on one finger and burst out laughing, a shrill, distorted laugh. Nothing I did altered the automatic rhythm of the air. Delivered from gravity and buoyancy, I flew around in space.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Without ethics, everything happens as if we were all five billion passengers on a big machinery and nobody is driving the machinery. And it's going faster and faster, but we don't know where.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
I am absolutely enraptured by the atmosphere of a wreck. A dead ship is the house of a tremendous amount of life-fish and plants. The mixture of life and death is mysterious, even religious. There is the same sense of peace and mood that you feel on entering a cathedral.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The sea is the universal sewer.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
In order to save the planet it would be necessary to kill 350,000 people per day.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
I wake up saying, I'm still alive a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
How dangerous are those sea animals with bad reputations? A few actually kill. A few maim. Some are poisonous when eaten by man. Most sting, stab,or poison and cause mild to severe discomfort to man. Yet man is one of the larger beings that sea creatures encounter, and these poisons usually can't kill him.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The sea is not a bargain basement.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
People protect what they love.
