But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She (Eleanor Roosevelt) got even in a way that was almost cruel.
