Art Quote by Ingmar Bergman
“Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul. A little twitch in our optic nerve, a shock effect: twenty-four illuminated frames a second, darkness in between, the optic nerve incapable of registering darkness.”

![“I shall remember this moment: the silence, the twilight, the bowl of strawberries, the bowl of milk. Your faces in the evening light.[...] I shall carry this memory carefully in my hands as if it were a bowl brimful of fresh milk. It will be a sign to me, and a great sufficiency.” quote by Ingmar Bergman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3e6/ingmar-bergman-4973_evening-light_i-shall-remember-this-moment-the-silence_20642.jpg)
