To be a woman is to have the same needs and longings as a man.
We need love and we wish to give it.
If only we all could accept that there is no difference between us where human values are concerned. Whatever sex. Whatever the life we have chosen to live.

— Liv Ullmann Changing (1977)

The best thing that can come with success is the knowledge that it is nothing to long for.

Changing (1977)

Loneliness beside the swimming pool and in their big new house with hardly any furniture.

Changing (1977)

Nothing ever comes to an end. Wherever one has sunk roots that emanate from one’s best or truest self, one will always find a home. To return is not to revisit something that has failed. I can walk along the old paths without bitterness that other feet are now taking pleasure in them.
