When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I haven't premeditated. This is pure instinct. It's like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. That's basically how I songwrite when I'm composing impromptu pieces. It's a lot like channeling. Or free associating. And it's super fun, because anything can happen! It's pure creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Gunn) is definitely one of the Bay Area's best.

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fault is sooner found than mended. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44199]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fault is sooner found than mended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11713]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58773]]></link><description><![CDATA[No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20092]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only five things you can do in baseball: run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3759]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only five things you can do in baseball: run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going.
