"My heart is in the palm of my hand, it beats at the end of every finger. If you don't hit me, I'm warning you, I'm going to sit in this chair and die. (...) I don't tremble for my body. I live in my heart and in my head, sir—not in this frail pod of dust in which I temporarily dwell.

My heart is in the palm of my hand, it beats at the end of every finger. If you don't hit me, I'm warning you, I'm going to sit in this chair and die. (...) I don't tremble for my body. I live in my heart and in my head, sir—not in this frail pod of dust in which I temporarily dwell.
""A szívem ott van a tenyeremben, ott ver minden ujjam végében. Ha nem csap bele, figyelmeztetem magát, beleülök ebbe a székbe, és meghalok. (...) Nem remegek én a testemért. Én a szívemben és a fejemben élek, uram - nem ebben a gyenge porhüvelyben, melyben átmenetileg lakom."
