Kep1moons, welcome to my nightmare or whatever

— List of my favourite actresses [15/?] INGRID THULIN (January 27, 1926 - January 7. 2004) “My real career began when I went to work for Ingmar.”

“one must learn to live. i practice every day. my biggest obstacle is i don’t know who i am. i grope blindly. if anyone ever loves me as i am, i may dare at last to look at myself. for me, that possibility is fairly remote.”

i guess being an adult is being able to handle your dreams and hopes, not longing for things…maybe you stop being surprised.

“a sense of reality is a matter of talent. many people lack that talent, and maybe it’s just as well.”

Sometimes, as I’m falling asleep I can feel him breathing on my face and touching me with his hand. He’s living another life, but we can reach one another. There’s no dividing line, no insurmountable wall. I wonder what reality looks like where my little boy is living. I know it can’t be described. It’s a world of liberated feelings. […] Everything exists side by side. It’s like huge patterns changing all the time. Do you know what I mean? In the same way, there must also be countless realities. Not only the reality we perceive with our dull senses, but a tumult of realities arching above each other inside and outside. It’s just fear and priggishness to believe in limits. There are no limits. Neither for thoughts nor for feelings. It’s anxiety that sets limits, don’t you think so?

Ingmar Bergman, Autumn Sonata script, translated (1978)

“Sometimes, when I lie awake at night, I wonder whether I've lived at all. Is it the same for everybody? Do some people have a greater talent for living than others or do some people never live, but just exist?”
