#	Quote
1	The sea is the universal sewer. [on the sea as a place "where all kinds of pollution wind up," to House Committee on Science and Astronautics, 28 January 1971]
2	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.
3	If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed [and] if we are not willing [to change], we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.
4	Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.
5	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. [Interview, 17 July 1971]
6	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.

#	Fact
1	Did not hold any scientific degrees.
2	Member of the Academie Francaise and the National Academy of Sciences in America.
3	Lost his younger son, Philippe, in a seaplane crash in 1979.
4	Retired from the French Navy with the rank of captain in 1956. That same year, he was appointed head of Monaco's Oceanographic Institute.
5	The French Government awarded him the prestiguous Legion d'honneur.
6	His ship, the 'Calypso', was a 66 foot-long converted minesweeper. It served as his flagship until 1996, when it was hit by a barge in Singapore harbour and sank.
7	During World War II, he was posted to the naval base at Toulon as an artillery instructor. He later joined the French resistance and conducted espionage against Italian occupation forces.
8	Having enrolled in the French Navy's aviation school, he was about to take his pilot's exam, when he crashed his father's car on a foggy mountain road. He broke both of his arms, one becoming infected. The accident possibly saved his life, since all but one of his fellow aviation classmates were later killed in action during World War II.
9	Though he was frail and anemic as a child, he learned to swim at the age of four.
10	His book, "The Silent World", sold over five million copies in 22 languages.
