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[Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity, andhumanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity, andhumanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7527]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Irony is an insult conveyed in the form of a compliment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Irony is an insult conveyed in the form of a compliment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Esquire, in a July, 1957 issue, has a photograph of me playing the French horn at the Five Spot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Esquire, in a July, 1957 issue, has a photograph of me playing the French horn at the Five Spot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their rise is one of difficulty, whose merits are impeded by poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their rise is one of difficulty, whose merits are impeded by poverty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No character before its time.

Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[UNIX is basically simple and powerful Operating System, but you have to be a different human to understand the simplicity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30135]]></link><description><![CDATA[UNIX is basically simple and powerful Operating System, but you have to be a different human to understand the simplicity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60178]]></link><description><![CDATA[We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's really a tragic situation from our perspective.
