But I must admit I didnt like that idea; do the same thing as everyone else. Eating to live, living to eat - that had been the nightmare of my adolescence. If it meant going back to that, if would be just as well to turn on the gas at once. But I suppose everyone thinks of things like that: lets turn on the gas at once. And you dont turn it on.

- Kampsu on aasi, hn ajatteli. Hmpp rouva, joka ei osaa ajatella muuta kuin teekakkuja ja tyynynpllisi. Hn ei ymmrr edes mitn kukista. Ja kaikkein vhiten hn ymmrt minua. Nyt hn istuu kotonaan ja luulee, etten min ole koskaan kokenut mitn. Minhn koen jokapiv maailmanlopun ja kuitenkin pukeudun ja riisuudun ja syn ja pesen asioita ja pidn teekutsuja aivan kuin ei mitn olisi tapahtunut!
