âWeakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, itâs tender and pliant. But when itâs dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are deathâs companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.â
STALKER (1979) dir. Andrei Tarkovski
