Jacques Yves Cousteau

I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.

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.

A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.

People protect what they love.

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.
