The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ingmar Bergman
- I’m very, very lazy. I love to sit in a chair and look out the window and do nothing.
- 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.
- 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.
- For me, the human face is the most important subject of the cinema.
- The demons are innumerable, appear at the most inconvenient times, and create panic and terror. But I have learnt that if I can master the negative forces and harness them to my chariot, then they can work to my advantage.
- If I don’t create, I don’t exist.
- I am normally afraid of birds and have never dreamt of any bird in my life.
- I think that for some time now I have been living with an anxiety which has had no tangible cause. It has been like having a toothache, without the conscientious dentist having been able to find anything wrong with the tooth or with the person as a whole.
- I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.
- The doors between the old man today and the child are still open, wide open. I can stroll through my grandmother’s house and know exactly where the pictures are, the furniture was, how it looked, the voice, the smells. I can move from my bed at night today to my childhood in less than a second.
