Spellbound (1945)
The secrets of who you are and what has made you run away
from yourself, all these secrets
are buried in your brain. But you don't want to look at them. The human being very often doesn't want to know the truth about himself,
because he thinks it will make him sick
Good Will Hunting (1997)
If I asked you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet, but you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable......You don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.
Persona (1966)
You can close yourself in,
shut yourself off.
Then you don't have to play roles,
show any faces or make false gestures.
But you see, reality is bloody-minded.
Your hideout isn't watertight.
Life seeps in everything.
You're forced to react.
No one asks if it's real or unreal,
if you're true or false.
The Seventh Seal (1957)
I cry to him in the darkness, but sometimes it feels like no one is there. Perhaps no one is there. Then life is just senseless horror.
No man can live facing death
knowing that everything is nothingness. Most people give no thought
to death or nothingness.
Stalker (1979)
Let them believe.
And let them have a laugh
at their passions.
Because what they call passion
actually is not some emotional energy,
but just the friction between
their souls and the outside world.
And most important,
let them believe in themselves
let them be helpless like children,
because weakness is a great thing,
and strength is nothing.
