Ingmar BergmanThe 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.

Ingmar BergmanSometimes I go for days without speaking to a soul. I think, โI should make that call", but I put it off. Because thereโs something pleasurable about not talking. But then I love talking, so itโs not that. But sometimes it can be nice. Itโs not like I sit here philosophizing, because Iโve no talent for that. Itโs just this thing about silence thatโs so wonderful.
