And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be noble in every thought And in every deed! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be noble in every thought And in every deed!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any points are good points.

It's when we come away with nothing that's more disappointing. But we'll turn those threes into sevens and turn things around in a positive way. It's nothing we're dwelling on.

The writer, Mike White, has an ability to create characters that are so creepy and dysfunctional and human, with this duality that makes people feel empathy for them at the same time.
