The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
From Jacques Yves Cousteau
The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.
People protect what they love.
However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.
From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
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.
The awareness of our environment came progressively in all countries with different outlets.
