It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just don't know why people would want to buy new furniture today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40749]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just don't know why people would want to buy new furniture today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cynics are made, not born. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cynics are made, not born.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith keeps many doubts in her pay.

In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery"...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is praised by some, blamed by others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50245]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is praised by some, blamed by others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47745]]></link><description><![CDATA[The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who sounds his own trumpet will soon find plenty to laugh at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51612]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who sounds his own trumpet will soon find plenty to laugh at him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always be closing...That doesn’t mean you’re always closing the deal, but it does mean that you need to be always ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always be closing...That doesn’t mean you’re always closing the deal, but it does mean that you need to be always closing on the next step in the process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea came to me in a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea came to me in a dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! regardless of their doom, The little victims play;  No sense have they of ills to come,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! regardless of their doom, The little victims play;  No sense have they of ills to come,   Nor care beyond to-day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48918]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Riches are first to be sought for; after wealth, virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Riches are first to be sought for; after wealth, virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know who killed Jane.
