Jamais, dans toute l’histoire de Paris, ses rues n’ont été plus mornes, fades, vides, nulles. Il faut aller à Château Rouge, rue Myrha par exemple, pour retrouver quelques vestiges de vie et tomber, comme sur un trésor, sur de noires putes pissant accroupies entre les bagnoles.

Ingmar Bergman on the expression of sex in his films and his interest in the interior anatomy of love:
"For many years I was timid and conventional in the expression of sex in my films. But the manifestation of sex is very important, and particularly to me, for above all, I don’t want to make merely intellectual films. I want audiences to feel, to sense my films. This to me is much more important than their understanding them. There is much in common between a beautiful summer morning and the sexual act; but I feel I’ve found the cinematic means of expressing only the first, and not the other, as yet. What interests me more, however, is the interior anatomy of love. This strikes me as far more meaningful than the depiction of sexual gratification."
— Ingmar Bergman, interviewed by Cynthia Grenier, Playboy Magazine, vol. 11, no. 6 (June 1964)
Éric Rohmer on his Six Moral Tales (1963–1972):
"In French there is a word moraliste that I don’t think has any equivalent in English. It doesn’t really have much connection with the word “moral,” a moraliste is someone who is interested in the description of what goes on inside man. He’s concerned with states of mind and feelings. For example in the eighteenth century Pascal was a moraliste, and a moraliste is a particularly French kind of writer like La Bruyère or La Rochefoucauld, and you could also call Stendhal a moraliste because he describes what people feel and think. So Contes Moraux doesn’t really mean that there’s a moral contained in them, even though there might be one and all the characters in these films act according to certain moral ideas that are fairly clearly worked out. In Ma Nuit chez Maud these ideas are very precise; for all the characters in the other films they are rather more vague, and morality is a very personal matter. But they try to justify everything in their behavior and that fits the word “moral” in its narrowest sense. But “moral” can also mean that they are people who like to bring their motives, the reasons for their actions, into the open, they try to analyze, and they are not people who act without thinking about what they are doing. What matters is what they think about their behavior, rather than their behavior itself. They aren’t films of action, they aren’t films in which physical action takes place, they aren’t films in which there is anything very dramatic, they are films in which a particular feeling is analyzed and where even the characters themselves analyze their feelings and are very introspective. That’s what Conte Morale means."
