“…in one way or another all men are mad. Many are mad for money…Love is a madness…it can grow to a frenzy of despair … All the whole list of desires, predilections, aversions, ambitions, passions, cares, griefs, regrets, remorses, are incipience madness, and ready to grow, spread and consume, when the occasion comes. There are no healthy minds, and nothing saves any man but accident–the accident of not having his malady put to the supreme test.
One of the commonest forms of madness is the desire to be noticed, the pleasure derived from being noticed. Perhaps it is not merely common, but universal.”

Festival of Fathers- A Blog Experience #10

May 9, 2010 by Jack Steiner Leave a Comment

“And I said, “Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us.”
I said, “Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then.
It’s a love without end, amen, it’s a love without end, amen.”
Love Without End, Amen– George Strait
