• Comemos panqueques para escapar de la soledad, sin embargo, dentro de los momentos que queremos nada más que nuestra libertad de tener nunca tanto como pensar en panqueques. Nada puede evitar que, después de comer tortitas, sintamos el más horrible arrepentimiento. Después de comer tortitas, nuestra gran misión en la vida se convierte en el repudio de las tortitas y de todo lo que se sirve con ellas, el beicon y el sirope y la salchicha y el café y las jaleas y mermeladas. Pero estas cosas no son dignas de mención, comparadas con las tortitas en sí. Es la tortita... ¡Tortitas! Las tortitas, lo que nunca aprendemos a respetar.
