' [The investors] said to me, 'Well how can you continue, can you... do you have the strength, or the will, or the enthusiasm, or so...?' And I said, 'How can you ask me this question... it is... if I abandon this project I would be a man without dreams and I don't want to live like that: I live my life or I end my life with this project.' /Verners Hercogs par Fitzcarraldo/
