Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst-tempered people I've ever met were people who knew they were wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58860]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst-tempered people I've ever met were people who knew they were wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime -- I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful.
