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
With earth's burgeoning human population to feed we must turn to the sea with understanding and new technology. We need to farm it as we farm the land.
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
Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.
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
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
Man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
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, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
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.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
All life is part of a complex relationship in which each is dependent upon the others, taking from, giving to and living with all the rest.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The sea is not a bargain basement.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
No sooner does man discover intelligence than he tries to involve it in his own stupidity.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
There are no boundaries in the real Planet Earth. No United States, no Soviet Union, no China, no Taiwan...Rivers flow unimpeded across the swaths of continents. The persistent tides - the pulse of the sea - do not discriminate they push against all the varied shores on Earth.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
In order to save the planet it would be necessary to kill 350,000 people per day.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.
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
May this continent, the last explored by humankind, be the first one to be spared by humankind.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history.
