And if you try to spit upward it only falls down upon your own face. Only by looking down do you understand your dharma.”

“Somos malos para la cama, somos malos para la intemperie, pero buenos para el ahorro. Todo lo guardamos. Como si supiéramos que el manicomio se va a quemar. Todo lo escondemos. No sólo los tesoros que cíclicamente sustraerá Pizarro, sino las cosas más inútiles, las baratijas, hilos sueltos, cartas, botones, que enterramos en sitios que luego se borran de nuestra memoria, pues nuestra memoria es débil. Nos gusta, sin embargo, guardar, atesorar, ahorrar. Si pudiéramos, nos ahorraríamos a nosotros mismos para épocas mejores. No sabemos estar sin papá y mamá. Aunque sospechamos que papá y mamá nos hicieron feos y tontos y malos para así engrandecerse aún más ellos mismos ante las generaciones venideras. Pues para papá y mamá el ahorro era interpretado como perdurabilidad y como obra y como panteón de hombres ilustres, mientras que para nosotros el ahorro es éxito, dinero, respetabilidad. Sólo nos interesa el éxito, el dinero, la respetabilidad. Somos la generación de la clase media.”
