Ingmar Bergman: "It is only by feeling each other that we feel alive, even if we cause each other pain."
"It's nice that it's half over with the devil. It took me three months to write this opus and a good chunk of my life to get through it all. Writing about the people of the poorest people, and their plight, I became attached to them in a way. They are quite contradictory, sometimes frighteningly childish and sometimes quite mature. They have talked some nonsense here, but they have also said this wise thing. They are biting, complacent, egotistical, stupid, sweet, intelligent, self-sacrificing, devoted, angry, tender, sentimental, insufferable and worthy of love. All these together. So let's see how it all went down."
"When I was young, death scared me. Now I realise life is just a light that will go out once and there is no need to make a fuss about it."
