About This Quote

This quote is from the documentary “Gates of Heaven”, which chronicles the film director's quest to discover why animals and humans displayed such an affinity for one another. What makes animals and people so similar? Why do they get along so well? While some of the answers may be obvious, some of the questions may not be answered until we discover what we share in common with other creatures on this planet.
