„Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;plug up my ears, and I can still hear;even without feet I can walk toward you,and without mouth I can still implore.Break off my arms, and I will hold youwith my heart as if it were a hand;strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb;and should you set fire to my brain,I still can carry you with my blood.“
— Rainer Maria Rilke
