it’s from the new Werner Herzog (his own quote reacting to the question of what he sees in them, if he sees them as destructive) documentary on volcanoes — it’s on netflix
-
in the broader context, it is not said negatively — he’s basically saying that he’s thankful for the destruction because it made life possible on earth by creating the atmosphere

Interesting how Herzog is understood as being pessimistic. when I first watched his Antarctica documentary I was disappointed in its themes, yet the second viewing resonated very deeply and was what fostered my interest in the region. There's a metaphor in there somewhere.
