A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience means self-suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience means self-suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immortality is the glorious discovery of Christianity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Immortality is the glorious discovery of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a matter of finding the right chair.

The best games are not those in whichall goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those inwhich the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life isdesigned to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty anduncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve.
