Werner Herzog, Conquest of the Useless: Reflections from the Making of Fitzcarraldo
"Am I in the wrong place here, or in the wrong life? Did I not recognize, as I sat in a train that raced past a station and did not stop, that I was on the wrong train, and did I not learn from the conductor that the train would not stop at the next station, either, a hundred kilometers away, and did he not also admit to me, whispering with his hand shielding his mouth, that the train would not stop again at all?"

"أأنا في المكان الخطأ هنا، أم في الحياة الخطأ؟ ألم أدرك، وأنا أجلس في قطار يمرّ بمحطة مسرعًا دون توقف، أنني في القطار الخطأ؟ ألم أعلم من القائد أن القطار لن يتوقف في المحطة التالية أيضًا، على بعد مئة كيلومتر؟ ألم يعترف لي همسًا، واضعًا يده على فمه، بأن القطار لن يتوقف بعد ذلك أبدًا؟"
