Contact Quote by Ingmar Bergman
“It's a strange thing that every human being has a sort of dignity or wholeness in him, and out of that develops relationships to other human beings, tensions, misunderstandings, tenderness, coming in contact, touching and being touched, the cutting off of a contact and what happens then.”

![“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)
