But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64447]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3866]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'd think New York people was all wise; but no, they can't get a chance to learn.
