More quotes by 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
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The awareness of our environment came progressively in all countries with different outlets.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
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.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about - farming replacing hunting.
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
A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
People protect what they love.
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
I wake up saying, I'm still alive a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

Jacques Yves Cousteau
Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The best way to observe a fish is to become a fish.
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
To restate an old law - when a man bites a fish, that's good, but when a fish bites a man, that's bad. This is one way of saying it's all right if man kills an animal, but if an animal attacks man, the act is reprehensible.
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
In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 per day.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
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
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.
