Jacques Yves Cousteau

Jacques Yves Cousteau
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
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.

Jacques Yves Cousteau
I wake up saying, I'm still alive a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
