Stalker (1979) dir. Andrei Tarkovsky
“I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”
― Franz Kafka, The Castle
“Of all the female characters in the Arthurian legend, Morgana is the most powerful, even more so than Merlin. Merlin may be a powerful prophet, Morgana is the practitioner. Merlin sees what can go wrong, Morgana accomplishes it. Morgana considers Merlin a somewhat tiresome old man, and it is fitting that it is her derivative character, Nimue, who finally divests Merlin of his power and confines him to his crystal cave. Morgana must still be smiling through the mists.”
— Sara Douglass, “The Betrayal of Arthur”
