Lorenz: I have been with you every day of my life. Tell me you know that.
Martina: Yes, I know it.
Lorenz: You must also know that I shall be with you every day that is granted to me from now on. Every evening I shall sit down to dine with you. Not with my body, which is of no importance, but with my soul. Because this evening I have learned, my dear, that in this beautiful world of ours, all things are possible.

from Babette's Feast, 1987
