A scene from Persona 1966
Mr. Vogler

You love someone, or more correctly, say you love someone, it nets you something... tangible. As tangible as words can be, I guess.

Alma

Mr. Vogler, I'm not your wife.

Mr. Vogler

You are also loved. You build a little fellowship, it generates security, you see the possibility of enduring, not so? Heh. How can I say everything I've thought without losing my way and boring you?

Alma

Mr. Vogler, I'm not your wife.

Mr. Vogler

Don't be so anxious, my darling. We have one another. We have faith, know each other's thoughts. We love one another. It's true, isn't it? It's the effort that's most important, not what we achieve. Isn't it? To see each other as children. Tormented and helpless lonely children. Elisabet!
