Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish you every kind of prosperity, with a little more taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48487]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish you every kind of prosperity, with a little more taste.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All love shifts and changes.

Nonsense! It gives us no picture at all.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am bourgeois to the core and parochial beyond belief, and yet I am drawn to art and scholarship as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58708]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am bourgeois to the core and parochial beyond belief, and yet I am drawn to art and scholarship as my anti-type, my shadow, the voice of distinction I never possessed. I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64878]]></link><description><![CDATA[I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never make a defense or apology before you are accused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never make a defense or apology before you are accused.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21678]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19003]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got quite a few ideas.
