Timothy Treadwell: I will die for these animals, I will die for these animals, I will die for these animals.

Werner Herzog: And what haunts me, is that in all the faces of all the bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. To me, there is no such thing as a secret world of the bears. And this blank stare speaks only of a half-bored interest in food. But for Timothy Treadwell, this bear was a friend, a savior.

Werner Herzog: I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony, but hostility, chaos and murder.
