More quotes by Jacques Yves Cousteau
There was wildlife, untouched, a jungle at the border of the sea, never seen by those who floated on the opaque roof. Describing his early experience, in 1936, when a fellow naval officer, Philippe Tailliez, gave him goggles to see below the Mediterranean Sea surface.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

Jacques Yves Cousteau

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

Jacques Yves Cousteau
People protect what they love.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
We are living in an interminable succession of absurdities imposed by the myopic logic of short-term thinking.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence.
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
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
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
A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
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 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
