Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou shalt sleep in thy clouds, careless of the voice of the morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou shalt sleep in thy clouds, careless of the voice of the morning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mr. Keating: Seize the day!

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of it is to be a community building event. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39271]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of it is to be a community building event.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For everything you have missed you have gained something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17152]]></link><description><![CDATA[For everything you have missed you have gained something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18492]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown.
