"Well, it's not me who is striking this note – it's a Bulgarian philosopher, Stefan Pashov, who works not only as an operator of heavy equipment, he also works in computers. He studied philosophy, I think he has a PhD, and he also studied comparative literature. But when he says that the universe itself becomes conscious of its own magnificence, he's quoting an American philosopher. All this, for me personally, is too much in the area of New Age, pseudo-philosophical babble, although this is not real babble; there's something serious about it. My personal opinion is different. I think the overwhelming quality of the universe out there is indifference. The universe can't care less about us. What do they care, these stars out there that are 100,000 times larger and which we'll never reach and never see? I think it's overwhelming indifference out there." - werner herzog
