The Time of the Uprooted.....Amber

I was reading this morning in the bathtub reading and this quote really hit me:

"I find some madmen entertaining, but others do indeed frighten me, as if they know that a man is just the restless and mysterious shadow of a dream, and that dream may be God's. I have to confess that I enjoy their thoughts as if they were wild horses, to hear them laugh and make others laugh, to intoxicate myself without wine and to dream with my eyes open..."
-Gamaliel (from "The time of the uprooted")
