Came across this quote while reading Jon Krakauer's amazing Into the Wild. It says the quote is from Donald Barthelme in The Dead Father.
"He is mad about being small when you were big, but no, that's not it, he is mad about being helpless when you were powerful, but no, not that either, he is mad about being contingent when you were necessary, not quite it, he is insane because when he loved you, you didn't notice." (emphasis mine)

I really like it =) thank you for posting it. I love your emphasis, it really brings out the feeling. I really think that if I had found that quote first, I would have done the same thing. But, our brains are connected sometimes ;) It has happened quite alot over the past few years, huh?
Lana, read "Under the Banner of Heaven." Same author. About Mormons. Real good. Miss you.
