I Believe in Werner Herzog

"[W]hy is it that a sophisticated animal like a chimp does not utilize inferior creatures? He could straddle a goat and ride off into the sunset."
- Werner Herzog, Encounters at the End of the World

I'm really starting to think that, if Werner Herzog isn't God Himself, then he's like the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey: the catalyst that points the way for the human race to evolve.
