A scene from The Seventh Seal 1957

Jöns

[Jöns is commiserating with disconsolate blacksmith Plog]

Love is the blackest of all plagues, but you don't even die of it, and usually it passes.
. . .

Jöns

If everything is imperfect in this world, love is perfect in its imperfection.

Plog

You're lucky. You believe in your own twaddle.

Jöns

Who says I believe it? But I like giving advice.
