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['Faith' means not wanting to know what is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14997]]></link><description><![CDATA['Faith' means not wanting to know what is true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now there is no sense of urgency and no accountability.
