We are all in the same boat..


"However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day. I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence. The sea, the great unifier, is our only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: We are all in the same boat." — Jacques Cousteau, quoted in "National Geographic" [1981]
