Quiet penguinologists say that penguins sometimes get lost, but I don't think it's lost for him, it's just that he has to do it, he has to go inland; even if he knows that he will eventually die, there is still a need to go.

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Werner Herzog: It occurred to me that in the time that we spent with him in the greenhouse possibly three or four languages have died. In our efforts to preserve endangered species we seem to overlook something equally important.

  • Werner Herzog: For me, the best description of hunger is the description of bread. A poet said that once I think. For me, the best description of freedom is what you have in front of you. You're travelling a lot.
