Quote: Martti: What is God like?
Jukka: I don't know. But I think He loves all people.
Martti: But you aren't sure.
Jukka: Mom taught me that when I was little.
Martti: God bless all the middle-class mothers! I wish I could believe it too.
Jukka: Who says you can't?
Martti: What would my old comrades say if I suddenly started to believe in God?
Jukka: I bet they wouldn't say a word, because they aren't here.
Martti: I have underestimated your wits. You are the only one who's good enough.

Quote: Martti: Did you know that a man is truly in love when he wants a baby? What a fool I was.
Jukka: I don't think it's silly at all.
Martti: It is! Love makes you do silly things, like running around at night smashing cameras. Did you even take any pictures?
Jukka: A little something.
Martti: A little something? I just don't tolerate with such modesty! You either shoot out of passion or you don't shoot at all! Photography is about seeing things others can't see.

Quote: Martti: My father was a fervent preacher who never approved of me, but he didn't abandon me either. Sometimes I hope I had even a drop of his courage. [Movie: Young Love [2001] Movie: Young Love [2001]]

Quote: Martti: Very good, excellent! Let's take a couple a bit closer. But I can't be done without light. Everything is based on light. Even colors are made of light. There are no colors in the dark, only black and white. A lens can bring you close to distant things. It is easier to approach a person that way too, isn't it? You must understand what you're shooting. You have to find the soul of your object.
Jukka: I thought you didn't believe in souls.
Martti: Only in photography. Just as there is a dark side to every soul, every picture craves shade.

Quote: Martti: Who took my pencil? Antti, you know in China a fruit monger can leave his cart in the middle of a square overnight and when he comes back in the morning, not a single fruit will be missing. If one of you should ever finish school, I hope the one grasps the nobility of art. [Movie: Young Love [2001] Movie: Young Love [2001]]
