In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 per day.
We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.
When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
Without ethics, everything happens as if we were all five billion passengers on a big machinery and nobody is driving the machinery. And it’s going faster and faster, but we don’t know where.
Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.
The future of nutrition is found in the oceans.
In order to save the planet it would be necessary to kill 350,000 people per day.
I experimented with all possible maneuvers-loops, somersaults and barrel rolls. I stood upside down on one finger and burst out laughing, a shrill, distorted laugh. Nothing I did altered the automatic rhythm of the air. Delivered from gravity and buoyancy, I flew around in space.
The sea is not a bargain basement.
Population growth is the primary source of environmental damage.
The awareness of our environment came progressively in all countries with different outlets.

Buoyed by water, he can fly in any direction-up, down, sideways-by merely flipping his hand. Under water, man becomes an archangel.
The biggest obstacle was mixing abortion with overpopulation. These are two things that have nothing to do with each other.
To restate an old law – when a man bites a fish, that’s good, but when a fish bites a man, that’s bad. This is one way of saying it’s all right if man kills an animal, but if an animal attacks man, the act is reprehensible.
Under water, man becomes an archangel.
In the deep space of the sea I have found my moon.
It’s terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn’t even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable.
May this continent, the last explored by humankind, be the first one to be spared by humankind.
