Ingrid Bergman Quotes

“I watched as Humphrey Bogart’s character used beans as a metaphor for the relative unimportance in the wider world of his relationship with Ingrid Bergman’s character, and chose logic and decency ahead of his selfish emotional desires. The quandary and resulting decision made for an engrossing film. But this was not what people cried about. They were in love and could not be together. I repeated this statement to myself, trying to force an emotional reaction. I couldn’t. I didn’t care. I had enough problems of my own.”
― Graeme Simsion, The Rosie Project

“So Eliza walked the path to East Bay Street that summer evening alone, wearing a scoop-neck black dress and her hair in Victory Rolls so that she felt like a dark-haired Ingrid Bergman in that new movie Notorious.”
― Ashley Clark, Paint and Nectar

“I want you to know how deeply I wish to translate those ideas into images, just to quiet down the turmoil of my brain. (in a letter to Ingrid Bergman)”
― Roberto Rossellini
