Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent.

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2796]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3267]]></link><description><![CDATA[An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good folly is worth what you pay for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35530]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good folly is worth what you pay for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a strolling damsel a doubtful reputation bears. [Ger., Denn ein wanderndes Madchen ist immer von schwankendem Rufe.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53881]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a strolling damsel a doubtful reputation bears. [Ger., Denn ein wanderndes Madchen ist immer von schwankendem Rufe.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53881</guid></item></channel></rss>
