More From Werner Herzog

The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind. our mind works largely by metaphor and comparison, not always (or often) by relentless logic. when we are caught in conceptual traps, the best exit is often a change in metaphor not because the new guideline will be truer to nature (for neither the old nor the new metaphor lies "out there" in the woods), but because we need a shift to more fruitful perspectives, and metaphor is often the best agent of conceptual transition.

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.
Zoos Believe Animal
I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. my theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. if we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... all animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.

Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. it is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. they are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.
Real Eye Stupidity
The word "metaphor" means carrying something from one place to another . . . and it is when you describe something by using a word for something that it isn't. this means that the word "metaphor" is a metaphor. i think it should be called a lie because a pig is not like a day and people people do not have skeletons in their cupboards. and when i try and make a picture of the phrase in my head it just confuses me because imagining and apple in someone's eye doesn't have anything to do with liking someone a lot and it makes you forget what the person was talking about.
Lying Mean Eye
I fear animals regard man as a creature of their own kind which has in a highly dangerous fashion lost its healthy animal reason - as the mad animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.
