Image
The individualists stare into each other's eyes and yet deny the existence of each other.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
Art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship. It severed an umbilical cord and now lives its own sterile life, generating and degenerating itself. In former days the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
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

Death: Do you never stop questioning? Antonius Block: No. I never stop.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
To humiliate and be humiliated, I think, is a crucial element in our whole social structure. It's not only the artist I'm sorry for. It's just that I know exactly where he feels most humiliated.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
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?
Ingmar Bergman
Image
There are moments when I can wander through my childhood's landscape, through rooms long ago, remember how they were furnished, where the pictures hung on the walls, the way the light fell. It's like a film - little scraps of a film, which I set running and which I can reconstruct to the last detail - except their smell.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The demons are innumerable, arrive at the most inappropriate times and create panic and terror. But I have learned that if I can master the negative forces and harness them to my chariot, then they can work to my advantage. Lilies often grow out of carcasses' arseholes.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
I think I have made just one picture that I really like.
Ingmar Bergman
Image
I have always had the ability to attach my demons to my chariot.

One has to manage alone as best one can. (Karin Bergman)
