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."

"We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one."

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

"If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work."
