"When the sun sheds its light over the colourless glacier /
it covers it with many beautiful colors /
Love brightened their life

"Here without doubt is the most beautiful film in the world. Victor Sjöström has directed it with a dignity that goes beyond words adn it shows that he is a splendid and human actor, like his fellow players and the third, unusally impressive member of the cast: Nature!"
Louis Delluc. Cinéa. 1921.

"The cliff was 35 meters high and they were going to pull me up with a cable until i could get hold of a shrub at the cliff's edge. Mr Ekman (Arnes) did not haul me up himself, but instead some crew members who were out of frame, with a cable that was also kept concealed. Everything went fine and i reached the cliff edge itself. Then a technician suddenly jumped forward and hugged me in his arms. It was at the last moment, the hook that was holding me had straightened out as a result of rubbing against the cliff edge, and the next instant...
Yes i have never been in such mortal danger as i was then
."
Victor Sjöström. Diary (Dagen). 16 Jan 1918.

"The working weeks Sjöström spent in the barren Swedish mountain environment in strenuous work, still linger today in his memory, gleaming with a certain grandeur. It was as though for the first time he was really struck by the nature of the film, what unimagined potential it contained, and how much there was to do for this new art."
'Oskrivna memoarer' Dagens nyheter 7 May 1933

"Americans," Sjöström/Seastrom said sadly, "do not like beautiful mountains, rivers and trees. They must have action. In Sweden we can express so much with our scenery we love to see it."
Louella Parsons. NEW YORK TELEGRAPH. November 26, 1922
