Will we meet at the end of the world

Herzog asked why we met at the end of the world.
A philosopher who is a driver here said that this is a natural choice and we are moving in one direction. So we will definitely meet here. This is the end, there is no more south. All here are the same kind of people.

There is such a group of penguins, some ran to the feeding place, some ran to the habitat, only one penguin stayed in place for a long time, and finally ran to the mountains. That is a road unknown to Penguins but doomed to death. The narrator said, this is Napoleon among penguins.

I was thinking, if we stay where we are forever, we will be with many people and talk about love and friendship, but these are actually false. Go to the end in one direction. We will meet people who are truly just like us. There is only meeting, no parting. At that time, love and friendship were both superficial. Because I am you and you are me. Love is the proof of loneliness.

Sometimes there are penguins among human beings who stubbornly explore the unknown, and most of them end up in failure. Only one of this group of penguins was recorded by the camera. And those great pioneers of mankind, God will remember them.

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. To me, it's a sign of a deeply disturbed civilization, where tree-huggers and whale-huggers in their weirdness are acceptable, while no one embraces the last speakers of a language.

  • 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.
