Weakness 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, it's
tender and pliant,
but when it's dry and hard,
it dies.
Hardness and strength are
death's companions.
Pliancy and weakness are expressions
of the freshness of being.
Stalker (Сталкер) - Andrei Tarkovsky
