- Axel Nygen: Have you ever thought of writing poetry?
- Gertrud Kanning: Yes, I have. Actually, I've written a poem. One poem, when I was 16. Here it is. Should I read it to you? It has three verses.
- Axel Nygen: Read.
- Gertrud Kanning: "Just look at me. Am I beautiful? No, but I have loved. Just look at me. Am I young? No, but I have loved. Just look at me. Do I live? No, but I have loved." Sixteen-year-old Gertrud. My gospel according to love.
- Axel Nygen: Remember what you said. There's nothing else in life but love. Nothing. Nothing else. Do you still stand by those words? Do you regret them?
- Gertrud Kanning: No, I don't regret them. I stand by what I said. There's nothing else in life, but youth and love, unending tenderness and quiet happiness, Axel.
- Gertrud Kanning: Yesterday, I ordered my headstone for my grave and I decided what will be on it.
- Axel Nygen: Your name, of course?
- Gertrud Kanning: No, just two words, amor omnia.
- Axel Nygen: Love is all.
- Gertrud Kanning: Yes, love is all.
