Occasionally I sense an insane wail deep down in the pit, the echo alone reaching me, striking without warning, a child weeping uninhibitedly, imprisoned forever.

More quotes by Ingmar Bergman
To feel. To trust the feeling. I long for that
Ingmar Bergman
The individualists stare into each other's eyes and yet deny the existence of each other.
Ingmar Bergman
I want to stop. I want to stay on Fårö, and read the books I haven’t read, find out things I haven’t yet found out. I want to write things I haven’t written. To listen to music, and talk to my neighbors. To live together with my wife a very calm, very secure, very lazy existence, for the rest of my life.
Ingmar Bergman
My discovery of Tarkovsky's first film was like a miracle. Suddenly, I found myself standing at the door of a room the keys of which had, until then, never been given to me. It was a room I had always wanted to enter and where he was moving freely and fully at ease.
Ingmar Bergman
Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure.
Ingmar Bergman
We worked on 'Fanny and Alexander' for seven months and it was an amusing production. Still, it was very long and heavy and so awfully complicated, .. And when the premiere was over and everything went well, I thought, 'That's that.' .
Ingmar Bergman
This damned ranting about doom. Is that food for the minds of modern people? Do they really expect us to take them seriously?
Ingmar Bergman
First, I write down all I know about the story, at length and in detail. Then I sink the iceberg and let some of it float up just a little.
Ingmar Bergman
Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.
Ingmar Bergman
I think I'm Swedish because I like to live here on this island. You can't imagine the loneliness and isolation in this country. In that way, I'm very Swedish - I don't dislike to be alone.
Ingmar Bergman
For me, in those days, the great question was: Does God exist? Or doesn't God exist? Can we, by an attitude of faith, attain to a sense of community and a better world? Or, if God doesn't exist, what do we do then? What does our world look like then? In none of this was there the least political colour.
Ingmar Bergman
I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.
Ingmar Bergman
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.
Ingmar Bergman
One has to manage alone as best one can. (Karin Bergman)
Ingmar Bergman
I am living permanently in my dream, from which I make brief forays into reality.
Ingmar Bergman
I feel very strongly that I’m surrounded by other realities.
Ingmar Bergman
My basic view of things is - not to have any basic view of things. From having been exceedingly dogmatic, my views on life have gradually dissolved. They don't exist any longer.
Ingmar Bergman
Self-portraiture is something one should never get involved in, since it is wrong to lie even though one endeavours to tell the truth.
Ingmar Bergman
We make each other alive it doesn’t make a difference if it hurts.
Ingmar Bergman
Perhaps we are the same person. Perhaps we have no limits perhaps we flow into each other, stream through each other, boundlessly and magnificently. You bear terrible thoughts it is almost painful to be near you. At the same time it is enticing. Do you know why?
