Some of it I keep, some I toss out, some of it I turn into giant cigarettes and somke 'em. I think everybodu should just turn off their TV machines and make up their own songs about whatever comes to mind-their couch, their friends their loaves of bread. Everybody's got their own songs.

We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all?

If you blow too hard and too fast, the balloon pops and likewise the relationship breaks. But if you take things slowly and let the balloon of love stretch on its own, it grows into a huge, prosperous balloon, full of love. Also, if you don't push the relationship at all, or at least hold it at the same level it was at, the air will flow out of the balloon, deflating it, and your love will shrivel up and become flat & lifeless. So when you are in love, push the relationship forward slowly and gently and the balloon will grow comfortably into a strong, immense love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've seen the future and it's much like the present only longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63240]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've seen the future and it's much like the present only longer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire or sense, alas!
