When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I haven't premeditated. This is pure instinct. It's like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. That's basically how I songwrite when I'm composing impromptu pieces. It's a lot like channeling. Or free associating. And it's super fun, because anything can happen! It's pure creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each Bond-street buck conceits, unhappy elf; He shows his clothes! alas! he shows himself.  O that they knew, these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each Bond-street buck conceits, unhappy elf; He shows his clothes! alas! he shows himself.  O that they knew, these overdrest self-lovers,   What hides the body oft the mind discovers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At all times it is better to have a method. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9878]]></link><description><![CDATA[At all times it is better to have a method.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has afunction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has afunction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11417]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought of his age, we seem to be assuming that the thought of his age was erroneous. When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46082]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are. -C.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human reason can neither predict nor deliberately shape its own future.
