And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the plays of W.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why and Wherefore set out one day, To hunt for a wild Negation.  They agreed to meet at a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why and Wherefore set out one day, To hunt for a wild Negation.  They agreed to meet at a cool retreat   On the Point of Interrogation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are what we repeatedly do.
