Fanny and Alexander - Microtext that can be read with the aid of a magnifying glass (in translation: The most precious chair in the world belongs to you. Take care of it, for it's very fragile. It might easily fall to pieces. This metal, which has existed for billions of years, fifty-nine thousand metres under the earth, has tired of people. It could turn into powder and dust just like the empress if you don't take care of it. Oscar in Fanny and Alexander, 1983):
Den tillhör er, världens dyrbaraste stol, var rädda om den. Den är mycket ömtålig, den går lätt sönder, metallen som levat i milliarder år, femtioniotusen meter under jorden har tröttnat på mänskorna, den kan falla sönder i stoft och damm precis som kejsarinnan om ni inte är rädda om den. Oscar i Fanny och Alexander 1983.

Realities beyond reality - Minitext that can be read with the aid of a magnifying glass (quotation by Ingmar Bergman, in translation: I know, of course, that by using film we can bring in other previously unknown worlds, realities beyond reality.):
Jag vet nämligen att vi med filmens hjälp kan tränga in i hittills obesedda världar, verkligheter utanför verkligheten.
