DESIREE: Don't forget, Madame, that love is a perpetual juggling of three balls. Their names are heart, word and sex. How easily these three balls can be juggled, and how easily one of them can be dropped. Ingmar Bergman
The world is a den of thieves, and night is falling. Evil breaks its chains and runs through the world like a mad dog. The poison affects us all. No one escapes. Therefore let us be happy while we are happy. Let us be kind, generous, affectionate and good. It is necessary and not at all shameful to take pleasure in the little world. Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman quote: "Every inflection and every gesture a lie, every smile a grimace."
Every inflection and every gesture a lie, every smile a grimace. Ingmar Bergman
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls. Ingmar Bergman
When we experience a film, we consciously prime ourselves for illusion. Putting aside will and intellect, we make way for it in our imagination. The sequence of pictures plays directly on our feelings. Music works in the same fashion; I would say that there is no art form that has so much in common with film as music. Both affect our emotions directly, not via the intellect. And film is mainly rhythm; it is inhalation and exhalation in continuous sequence. Ingmar Bergman
I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to man has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams. Ingmar Bergman

Say anything you want against The Seventh Seal. My fear of death? this infantile fixation of mine? was, at that moment, overwhelming. I felt myself in contact with death day and night, and my fear was tremendous. When I finished the picture, my fear went away. I have the feeling simply of having painted a canvas in an enormous hurry? with enormous pretension but without any arrogance. I said, 'Here is a painting; take it, please. Ingmar Bergman
The film medium is some sort of magic. I think also it's a magic that every frame comes and stands still for a fraction of a second and then it darkens. A half part of the time when you see a picture you sit in complete darkness. Isn't that fascinating? That is magic. Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman quote: "Death: Do you never stop questioning? Antonius Block: No. I..."
Death: Do you never stop questioning? Antonius Block: No. I never stop. Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman quote: "I hope I never get so old I get religious."
I hope I never get so old I get religious. Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman quote: "I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and..."
I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images. Ingmar Bergman
I'm planning, you see, to try to confine myself to the truth. That's hard for an old, inveterate fantasy martyr and liar who has never hesitated to give truth the form he felt the occasion demanded. Ingmar Bergman
One of ennui's most terribel components is the overwhelming feeling of ennui that comes over you whenever you try to explain it. Ingmar Bergman
