Impressive. When the knight said those words on a spring afternoon, it was a rare moment of clarity in a Bergman film: I will remember this moment of ease, this sunset, this bowl of wild strawberries and milk, and your faces in the afterglow , The sleeping Mikay, the violin-playing Jove, I will try my best to remember what we said, holding this memory in my hands, as if I was carefully holding a bowl full of milk. Faith is self-evident and requires no circumstantial evidence.

We have different gods in our hearts, but we all face the same death.

Antonius Block: From our darkness, we call out to Thee, Lord. Have mercy on us because we are small and frightened and ignorant.
Jöns: [bitterly] In the darkness where you are supposed to be, where all of us probably are... In the darkness you will find no one to listen to your cries or be touched by your sufferings. Wash your tears and mirror yourself in your indifference.
Antonius Block: God, You who are somewhere, who must be somewhere, have mercy upon us.
Jöns: I could have given you an herb to purge you of your worries about eternity. Now it seems to be too late. But in any case, feel the immense triumph of this last minute when you can still roll your eyes and move your toes.
Karin, Block's Wife: Quiet, quiet.
Jöns: I shall be silent, but under protest.

Witch: Look into my eyes.
[the knight meets her gaze. They stare at each other for a long time]
Witch: What do you see? Do you see him?
Antonius Block: I see fear in your eyes, an empty, numb fear. But nothing else.
Witch: No one, nothing, no one?
Antonius Block: [shakes his head] No.
Witch: Can't you see him behind your back?
Antonius Block: [turns around] No, there is no one there.
