Jacques-Yves Cousteau
“Silner's hut" we called it. There he spent his free time, surrounded by boxes and cans (we use the spar deck to store everything that we have no other space for), doing those mysterious things that all photographers seem to do when left to themselves.”
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Life and Death in a Coral Sea

Jacques-Yves Cousteau
“For almost forty years now, I have lived on the ocean. I have dedicated myself to the sea, and wholly consecrated myself to it. I have explored depths that, until then, were unknown. I have had good days and bad days. I have dived in the waters of incredible transparency, and I have experienced the violence of waves like those at Europa, which tore the Calypso from its anchorage and battered its aging carcass with elemental fury. But, despite all the dangers, all the fatigue, all the sacrifices, I have never regretted the choice I made. The sea, in the final account, always brought me more joy than pain.
And that was true in this case also; for I had the pleasure of seeing us all together again - our entire team, gathered under a blue sky, on a blue sea. Once more, the sea had refused to exact a price for our audacity and our curiosity; and once more I was grateful to her for her generosity. -P219”
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Life and Death in a Coral Sea

Jacques-Yves Cousteau
“It is possible - indeed, it is likely - that, unless there is a great change in the near future, disaster will follow. And it will be a disaster of which man himself will be not only the perpetrator, but also one of the victims. - p 46”
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Life and Death in a Coral Sea

J.M. Barrie
“Odd things happen to all of us on our way through life without our noticing for a time that they have happened. Chapter 15.”
J.M. Barrie, Petar Pan

“I put in, in all, 15 years among the Sioux, Assiniboines and Mountain Crows. I'm not going into the subject, but I will say that the more I saw of the relations of the white man and the Indian, the more sympathy I had for the Indians. pg 62”
Fred Lockley, Voices of the Oregon Territory Conversations With Bullwhackers,Muleskinners,Pioneers, Prospectors, 49Ers, Indian Fighters
