I feel like healing is coming.
I hope this marks the beginning to the end of a very painful time in
our history.
—Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens, New York, after being among the first Americans to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer (December 14)
Science and filmmaking are very close in one respect. It has to do with discovery, and it has to do with a sense of awe. If I didn’t have a sense of awe in every single one of my films, I wouldn’t work in this profession. And the same thing you find among scientists. They have exactly this incredible excitement.
—Werner Herzog, speaking with NPR about his newest film, Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds (November 19)
