Stalker: "Let everything that's been planned come true. 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. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win."

Stalker: "It is so quiet out here, it is the quietest place in the world."

Ingmar Bergman about Андрей Арсеньевич Тарковский:
"Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream."

~

"Tarkovsky developed a theory of cinema that he called "sculpting in time".
By this he meant that the unique characteristic of cinema as a medium was to take our experience of time and alter it.
Unedited movie footage transcribes time in real time.
By using long takes and few cuts in his films,
he aimed to give the viewers a sense of time passing,
time lost, and the relationship of one moment in time to another."
