Ingmar Bergman Quotes

The theater is like a faithful wife. The film is the great adventure - the costly, exacting mistress Picture Quote #1

The older I become, the more I think about my mother Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We walk in circles, so limited by our own anxieties that we can no longer distinguish between true and false, between the gangster’s whim and the purest ideal Picture Quote #1

There is no art form that has so much in common with film as music. Both affect our emotions directly, not via the intellect Picture Quote #1

Today we say all art is political. But I’d say all art has to do with ethics. Which after all really comes to the same thing. It’s a matter of attitudes Picture Quote #1

This damned ranting about doom. Is that food for the minds of modern people? Do they really expect us to take them seriously? Picture Quote #1

Either I did away with that fear through writing, or in the course of writing, I discovered it was no longer so intrusive or threating. The bottom line is, it’s gone Picture Quote #1

You find him disgusting with his thick mouth and ugly body and wet appealing eyes. You think he’s disgusting and you’re afraid Picture Quote #1

I make all my decisions on intuition. I throw a spear into the darkness. That is intuition. Then I must send an army into the darkness to find the spear. That is intellect Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Old age is like climbing a mountain. You climb from ledge to ledge. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your views become more extensive Picture Quote #1
