Burden of Dreams Quotes

  • (Werner Herzog) "It's not only my dreams, my belief is that all these dreams are -- are yours as well -- and the only distinction between me and you is that I can articulate them -- and that is what poetry or painting or literature or film-making is all about, it's as simple as that -- and I, I make films because I have not learned anything else and I know I can do it to a certain degree -- and it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are -- and we have to articulate ourselves otherwise we would be cows in the field."
  • (Werner Herzog) "Kinski always says it's full of erotic elements. I don't see it so much erotic. I see it more full of obscenity. It's just; Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn't see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and -- growing and -- just rotting away. Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they; they sing. They just screech in pain. It's an unfinished country. It's still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is; is the dinosaurs here. It's like a curse weighing on an entire landscape. And whoever -- goes too deep into this has his share of this curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It's a land that God, if he exists has; has created in anger. It's the only land where; where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at; at what's around us there; there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of -- overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle; Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation; we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban -- novel -- a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication -- overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the; the stars up here in the; in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment."
  • (Werner Herzog) "Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project."
  • (Narrator) "Herzog is stranded in the jungle with a 300 ton steam ship that won't move and time is running out. He needs money to move the ship but no one would invest unless the ship moves first."
  • (Werner Herzog) "I'm running out of fantasy. I don't know what else can happen out."
